Yiqiu3D Silk PLA Filament 1.75mm 8-Color High-Speed Metallic Shine

Brand: Yiqiu3D · Streaky silk is what kills a colour set: the first layer goes uneven, gloss drifts from spool to spool, and the range stops looking like one product line. This set holds eight colours to the same high-gloss silky PLA plastic finish, so printed sets, colour-swatch boards and mixed colour orders photograph as one family - a metallic-looking surface effect, PLA plastic, not metal. Each spool is 1 kg net filament per spool, vacuum-sealed with a desiccant pack.

  • Eight production colours in one lot: Silk White
  • Built for volume: 1.75 mm round profile
  • Where the set pays for itself: figurine ranges

Quick Answer

Is this a real metallic material, and how does the finish behave?

The filament is PLA plastic with a metallic-looking silk gloss; there is no metal in it. The surface takes a smooth, reflective sheen with little layer-line haze, which is what makes a printed figurine or vase look like a finished retail item straight off the plate. It prints with ordinary PLA behaviour - nozzle 200-225 °C, standard PLA cooling - and carries no abrasive filler to wear a brass nozzle.

01 · Why this one

Product highlights

3 reasons

Eight production colours in one lot: Silk White, Silk Gold (Bright Gold), Silk Dark Gold, Silk Pink Red, Silk Black, Silk Blue, Silk Christmas Green, Silk Silver and Silk Copper. Order the full split and the finish matches across the range, so a retail display or a multi-colour product shot does not need a re-shoot when the batch changes.

Built for volume: 1.75 mm round profile, 1 kg net filament per spool, about 335 m each, wound on a round spool that fits a standard spool holder and a multi-spool AMS-style feeder - so a farm can load eight colours and keep a queue running without respooling. The 200-225 °C window matches the plain PLA profile you already run.

Where the set pays for itself: figurine ranges, vases, architectural models, awards, cosplay props, gift boxes and retail display pieces where the surface sells the item. Keep it off load-bearing brackets, hinges and machine guards, and out of sustained heat or long direct sun.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a real metallic material, and how does the finish behave?
The filament is PLA plastic with a metallic-looking silk gloss; there is no metal in it. The surface takes a smooth, reflective sheen with little layer-line haze, which is what makes a printed figurine or vase look like a finished retail item straight off the plate. It prints with ordinary PLA behaviour - nozzle 200-225 °C, standard PLA cooling - and carries no abrasive filler to wear a brass nozzle.
Does it run on farm machines and multi-spool systems?
Yes. It is 1.75 mm filament on a round spool in the standard 1 kg format, so it fits the usual spool holder, dry box and multi-spool AMS-style feeder on Bambu Lab, Creality, Prusa and comparable 1.75 mm FDM machines. Keep the run on the plain PLA profile you already use; this grade needs no high-temperature hotend and no hardened nozzle.
What nozzle temperature should I set for the eight colours?
200-225 °C covers all eight colours. They are extruded as one family, so a single profile prints the whole set - useful on a farm, where one material profile across eight spools removes a common cause of mixed-plate failures. We do not publish a bed temperature for this grade: keep your existing PLA first-layer setting and tune from the result on your own plate surface.
How much filament is in the set?
Each spool carries 1 kg net filament per spool at a 1.75 mm round profile, about 335 m of strand, so a full eight-colour set is 8 kg net. Spools ship individually vacuum-sealed with a desiccant pack, which means you can open one colour at a time and leave the rest sealed until the print queue needs them.
Will the gloss and the colours match between batches?
Colour is held by masterbatch, and the sheen is set by the same extrusion and cooling recipe for every colour in the range, so a repeat order in the same colour code comes from the same colour lot on the same line. When one client project or one retail assortment has to match exactly, release the full quantity as a single order and keep the lot code from the carton.
What sells best in these eight colours?
Glossy decorative work: figurines, vases and planters, architectural and interior models, award and plaque pieces, cosplay props, gift boxes and retail display units - anything where the surface finish is what the buyer pays for. It is a silk PLA, so avoid load-bearing assemblies, hinged parts and anything living in sustained heat or long direct sunlight, where the sheen dulls.
How is the set packed, and how do I store it?
Each of the eight spools ships in its own vacuum-sealed foil bag with a desiccant pack, and the set travels in plain export cartons with the spools held so they cannot crush each other. Store sealed spools in a cool, dry place out of direct sun; once a spool is open, keep it in a dry box or a sealed tub with desiccant. Kept sealed, one production run holds its colour and gloss for repeat jobs months later.
