Dual Color Silk PLA Filament 1.75mm 1kg Net Yiqiu3D Dual-Gradient

Brand: Yiqiu3D · Model: Silk PLA 1.75mm 1kg · Flat single-colour prints read as unfinished. This dual-colour silk PLA carries two satin tones inside one 1.75 mm strand, so an ordinary single-nozzle FDM printer builds the transition: walls shift tone by tone, layer by layer, with no second extruder, no mid-print swap and no purge tower burnt on colour changes. The strand is held to +/-0.03 mm, which keeps the colour split crisp on tall walls instead of smearing at the seam. Built for display work: models, awards, shop-window prototypes.

  • Nine dual-colour references are stocked
  • Parameters you can quote onward to your own customers: 1.75 mm diameter held to +/-0.03 mm
  • Drop the spool on the holder and print: no drying ritual

Quick Answer

What makes dual-colour silk PLA different from ordinary silk PLA?

Ordinary silk PLA holds one pigment in the strand, so the whole part comes out one tone. Here two pigments are co-extruded into the same 1.75 mm strand, so the two tones alternate across the surface as the part is built - on one nozzle, with no filament change. Silk compounds are selected for reflection rather than mechanical strength, so treat this as a display finish: it reads best on flat or gently curved faces that catch light, and it is not the grade for load-bearing brackets.

Is it right for my project?

Best for: Where surface finish sells the product: display models, awards and shop-window prototypes - available in 9 colours; 1kg spools; lead colour Silk Dual Color Red Green. Not ideal for: Avoid outdoor or heat-exposed items - the sheen dulls; choose ASA for weather resistance - available in 9 colours; 1kg spools; lead colour Silk Dual Color Red Green.

01 · Why this one

Product highlights

3 reasons

Nine dual-colour references are stocked, led by Silk Dual Color Red Green, plus Purple Gold, Black Green, Black Purple, Pink Gold, Pink Blue, Black Orange, Black Gold and Light Black Gold. Both pigments sit in the same strand, so the two-tone effect survives on a single-nozzle machine - no dual-extruder upgrade, no multi-material unit, no purge block on every colour change. Mixed references ship on one consignment, so a distributor can qualify the whole range in a single trial order.

Parameters you can quote onward to your own customers: 1.75 mm diameter held to +/-0.03 mm, 1 kg net filament per round plastic spool, approximately 335 m of strand per roll, nozzle range 200-225 °C. Controlled diameter and roundness keep the extrusion bead even, so wall thickness does not drift between the start and the end of a 1 kg roll - the usual reason a print looks right at the bottom and thin near the top.

Drop the spool on the holder and print: no drying ritual, no glue, no enclosure. The 200-225 °C window covers the standard PLA presets on Bambu Lab X1/P1-style, Creality Ender-style, Prusa and other 1.75 mm FDM machines, and the winding is laid evenly so the strand will not cross over itself and jam mid-job. A heated bed is optional. For display-grade shine, keep finished parts out of outdoor heat and direct sun, where the silk sheen dulls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes dual-colour silk PLA different from ordinary silk PLA?
Ordinary silk PLA holds one pigment in the strand, so the whole part comes out one tone. Here two pigments are co-extruded into the same 1.75 mm strand, so the two tones alternate across the surface as the part is built - on one nozzle, with no filament change. Silk compounds are selected for reflection rather than mechanical strength, so treat this as a display finish: it reads best on flat or gently curved faces that catch light, and it is not the grade for load-bearing brackets.
Which printers does this filament run on?
Any FDM machine with a 1.75 mm hot end fed from a spool holder: Bambu Lab X1/P1 and A1-style, Creality Ender and K1-style, Prusa, Elegoo and generic desktop printers. No dual-extruder head and no multi-material unit is needed, because both colours are already inside the strand. A standard brass nozzle is fine at the recommended temperatures; a 0.4 mm nozzle at 0.2 mm layers is the usual starting point for display work.
What print settings do you recommend?
Nozzle temperature 200-225 °C; start around 205-215 °C, because running a silk grade hotter than it needs dulls the gloss. Use a 0.4 mm nozzle with 0.2 mm layers and moderate part cooling - full fan keeps overhangs sharp but weakens interlayer bonding, so ease it off on tall display pieces. A heated bed is optional for PLA. This listing does not quote a bed temperature, so take that value from your own silk PLA profile.
How much filament is on one roll, and how far does it go?
One spool is 1 kg net, which is approximately 335 m of 1.75 mm strand. Real consumption depends on infill and wall count: a hollow 10 cm display figure uses well under 100 g, so a 1 kg roll covers a small production run, while a solid base or a large vase-mode piece can take several hundred grams. Filament is sold by net weight per roll, not by box weight, so what you pay for is what you can print.
Which colours are available, and can I order a mixed set?
Nine dual-colour references: Silk Dual Color Red Green (lead colour), Purple Gold, Black Green, Black Purple, Pink Gold, Pink Blue, Black Orange, Black Gold and Light Black Gold. A mixed-reference order ships as one consignment, so the whole range can be qualified in one trial order. The two-tone effect depends on how the surface catches light, so confirm the exact reference number you want before a bulk run.
How should the spool be stored?
Spools ship sealed with a desiccant pack. Keep the roll in its sealed bag until the job starts, then store it in an airtight container with the desiccant and out of direct sunlight. PLA takes up moisture slowly, and a damp strand announces itself as popping at the nozzle, a rough wall and weaker layer bonding. Room temperature and low humidity are enough - no special drying cycle is needed if the bag is resealed after each print.
