Silk PLA 1.75mm 1kg

Brand: Yiqiu3D · Plain single-color prints feel flat? Our Silk PLA blends two or three colors in one filament — red-to-green, gold-to-silver, purple-to-gold — so every vase, dragon or trophy gets an iridescent gradient with zero multi-extruder setup.

  • Silk shine that looks painted? The high-gloss silk finish reflects light like lacquered art
  • Color transitions deserve clean extrusion. This silk PLA is wound with consistent 1.75mm diameter and stable tension so dual-color segments feed without jamming
  • No special hardware required. It prints at the standard 220°C on Bambu Lab

Quick Answer

How does dual-color silk filament work?

Two or three color segments are pre-mixed along the strand. As the filament extrudes, the color transitions automatically create gradient and banding patterns, so a single-nozzle printer produces multicolor art with no multi-material unit.

01 · Why this one

Product highlights

3 reasons

Silk shine that looks painted? The high-gloss silk finish reflects light like lacquered art, making decorative pieces gallery-ready straight off the printer, with smooth, low-layer-line surfaces that feel premium to the touch.

Color transitions deserve clean extrusion. This silk PLA is wound with consistent 1.75mm diameter and stable tension so dual-color segments feed without jamming, and vacuum packaging with desiccant keeps moisture from dulling the shine.

No special hardware required. It prints at the standard 220°C on Bambu Lab, Anycubic and Creality machines using normal PLA profiles — stunning multicolor results from a single nozzle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does dual-color silk filament work?
Two or three color segments are pre-mixed along the strand. As the filament extrudes, the color transitions automatically create gradient and banding patterns, so a single-nozzle printer produces multicolor art with no multi-material unit.
Is it compatible with my printer?
Yes — any 1.75mm single-nozzle FDM printer works, including Bambu Lab, Anycubic, Creality and Prusa. No AMS or multi-color hardware is required for the effect.
What print settings give the best silk shine?
Nozzle 220°C per the card, bed 50-60°C, and print at 30-50mm/s — slower extrusion lets the silk additive develop its deepest gloss. Avoid very hot nozzles, which can dull the shine.
How much can I print from one spool?
A 1kg spool holds roughly 330m of 1.75mm PLA, enough for several vases or a dozen decorative figures, depending on wall count and infill.
Will the gloss and color stay consistent?
Yes. Batch-controlled color mixing keeps the gradient tones uniform across rolls, and the gloss depends on dryness — the vacuum-sealed, desiccant-packed bag protects it until you open the spool.
What print speed range is recommended?
30-60mm/s is the sweet spot; 30-40mm/s gives the richest gloss, and up to 60mm/s is fine for draft prints where shine matters less.
Is silk PLA for decoration only?
Silk PLA is a showcase material: vases, trophies, figurines, jewelry boxes and gifts where appearance is the product. It is not intended for load-bearing structural use.
How should silk PLA be stored?
Keep it sealed in the vacuum bag or a dry box. Moisture is the enemy of silk shine — a humid spool prints cloudy, so store below 40% relative humidity and reseal after use.
