PLA Silk Rainbow Filament 1.75mm 1kg Gradient Candy Macaron Forest Universe Color Series Eco Paper Spool

Brand: Yiqiu3D · Mixed-colour sets usually mean buying six spools to chase one gradient. The Cosmic colour series runs as a continuous rainbow gradient along a single strand, so one 1 kg spool of 1.75mm silk produces prints that move through deep cosmic tones on their own - no filament swaps, no purge waste, no partial spools left over.

  • Spool ends thrown away by the crate are a waste line most filament brands ignore. This range ships on a cardboard spool
  • Gradient results should be repeatable. Specs are published: 1.75mm
  • Silk grades string and dull if they are run too hot or too fast. Run 200-225 C at moderate speed with retraction tuned

Quick Answer

What is the Cosmic colour series and how is it different from a single-colour silk?

Cosmic is a silk PLA rainbow gradient: the colour shifts continuously along the strand, giving dark cosmic tones through the print. A single-colour silk stays one tone; this one produces the gradient inside one spool of 1.75mm filament. The base material is PLA plastic with a glossy finish, not a metal or glass material.

Is it right for my project?

Best for: For high-gloss art and craft prints that need a smooth metallic-looking surface off the plate - available in 4 colours; 1kg spools. Not ideal for: Not suited to tight-tolerance stressed parts; a carbon-fibre grade holds up better - available in 4 colours; 1kg spools.

01 · Why this one

Product highlights

3 reasons

Spool ends thrown away by the crate are a waste line most filament brands ignore. This range ships on a cardboard spool, so the reel goes into paper recycling once the filament is used up: nothing to wash, nothing to box for the waste stream, and a lighter carton that trims freight weight on bulk orders.

Gradient results should be repeatable. Specs are published: 1.75mm, 1 kg net filament per spool, approximately 335 meters per spool, nozzle 200-225 C, RoHS documentation available upon request. Vacuum-sealed with desiccant, so a reorder prints the same gradient and the same gloss from the start of the spool.

Silk grades string and dull if they are run too hot or too fast. Run 200-225 C at moderate speed with retraction tuned, and the rainbow sheen holds through the layers on lamp shades, vases, cosplay props and gift packaging - the finish is a glossy plastic surface, not a metal or glass material.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Cosmic colour series and how is it different from a single-colour silk?
Cosmic is a silk PLA rainbow gradient: the colour shifts continuously along the strand, giving dark cosmic tones through the print. A single-colour silk stays one tone; this one produces the gradient inside one spool of 1.75mm filament. The base material is PLA plastic with a glossy finish, not a metal or glass material.
Will the cardboard spool work on my printer?
The filament is 1.75mm and fits standard 1.75mm FDM printers such as Bambu Lab, Creality, Prusa, Anycubic and Elegoo. Cardboard spools are lighter and run on standard spool holders; on AMS-style multi-spool units or long prints, a spool-ring adapter or an external holder is the safer mount. Silk grades string more than standard PLA, so keep retraction moderate on Bowden setups.
What print settings should I use?
200-225 C at the nozzle, with roughly 210 C and a moderate speed giving the most even gradient and the strongest gloss. No heated-bed value is published for this grade, so follow your printer profile for the build plate.
How much filament is on one spool?
1 kg net filament per spool of 1.75mm, approximately 335 meters - the same quantity for every colour family in this series.
Which colour families are available, and is the colour consistent between spools?
Four families: Cosmic, Candy, Macaron and Forest colour series. Colour sequence is set for each family in production, so reorders of the same family print the same gradient. Note that the cardboard spool is the packaging format, not a colour.
What is this filament best used for?
High-gloss art and craft prints that need a smooth, colour-shifting surface: lamp shades, vases, cosplay props, decorative bowls, gift packaging and shop displays. It is not suited to tight-tolerance stressed parts, where a carbon-fibre grade performs better.
How should the spools be stored?
Keep the spool in its vacuum-sealed pouch with the desiccant until use. Paper spools should stay in a cool, dry place away from damp floors and direct sunlight so the reel does not soften, and an open coil should be dried before printing.
