Silk PLA Filament 1.75mm

Brand: Yiqiu3D · Silk Gradient Red/Gold is the lead colour of this reference and nine gradient or dual colour runs are stocked. The red-to-gold run is a continuous co-extruded shift, not a hard stripe, so one print carries the colour story up its whole height without a second extruder. This silk PLA is a plastic filament with a glossy silky surface: it is not real metal and contains no metal filler, so parts stay light and print on ordinary FDM machines. The colour list is published below on this page.

Quick Answer

How does the red to gold gradient work, and is the gold a real metal finish?

Two coloured PLA streams, deep red and bright gold, are co-extruded into one 1.75 mm strand so the tone shifts continuously along the print instead of stopping in blocks. That gives a single-job showpiece with a smooth colour transition and no second extruder, no mixer and no mid-print colour change. The gold is a high-gloss additive compounded into the PLA, not a metal coating and not metal filler: the strand is ordinary PLA plastic, stays light, does not corrode and prints at 200-225 C on a standard FDM machine.

01 · Why this one

Product highlights

1 reasons

Run the nozzle inside 200-225 C: the upper half of the window gives the fullest silk sheen and the smoothest red-to-gold blend, the lower half keeps sharper detail on edges and fine relief. A gradient feed needs no second extruder and no colour change command, so the whole showpiece prints in one job. Print height, not slicer settings, drives the colour shift, so plan model height against the run you order and keep the outer perimeter slow.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the red to gold gradient work, and is the gold a real metal finish?
Two coloured PLA streams, deep red and bright gold, are co-extruded into one 1.75 mm strand so the tone shifts continuously along the print instead of stopping in blocks. That gives a single-job showpiece with a smooth colour transition and no second extruder, no mixer and no mid-print colour change. The gold is a high-gloss additive compounded into the PLA, not a metal coating and not metal filler: the strand is ordinary PLA plastic, stays light, does not corrode and prints at 200-225 C on a standard FDM machine.
Which printers does it run on?
Any standard 1.75 mm FDM machine: Bambu Lab X1 and P1 series, Creality Ender and K1 series, Prusa MK4 and XL, Anycubic, Elegoo and the common clone platforms, all inside the 200-225 C nozzle window. A gradient strand needs no special hot end, no mixer and no multi-material unit, because the colour shift is built into the strand. A glass bed, a PEI sheet or a textured plate all work, and the 1 kg round spool fits the standard spool holders on these machines. Tell us the model and we will confirm before you order.
What print settings do you recommend?
Nozzle temperature 200-225 C, the recorded value for this grade. Start around 210 C and run a temperature tower: the upper half of the window gives the fullest silk sheen and the smoothest red-to-gold blend, the lower half holds sharper relief detail. This listing does not publish a bed temperature, a print speed or a layer height for this spool, so take those from your printer profile. The colour shift is driven by print height, so plan the model height against the gradient run you order, and dry the spool if it has been in open air.
Which colour runs are stocked, and is the gradient consistent between batches?
Nine runs are stocked: Silk Gradient Red/Gold, Silk Dual Color Red/Green, Silk Dual Color Red/Blue, Silk Gradient Gold/Copper, Silk Gradient Gold/Silver, Silk Gradient Purple/Gold, Silk Dual Color Yellow/Green, Silk bi color Rose Red/Light Blue and Silk Dual Color Rose Red/Black. Silk Gradient Red/Gold is the lead run of this reference. Pigment is compounded before extrusion and a production run uses one process window, so a repeat order arrives with the same red and the same gold. Send a physical swatch for a specific brand colour and we will confirm the closest match.
What should I print with a red and gold gradient silk filament?
Pieces where the colour transition is the product: holiday and festival decor, showpieces and retail displays, vases and centrepieces, figurines and collector models, award trophies, gift boxes, shop-window props and architectural display models. Because the transition travels with the print height, one job delivers the effect with no painting and no post-processing, which is where the labour saving sits. Do not use it for outdoor signage in strong sun or for load-bearing parts: UV dulls the finish and PLA is not a structural material.
How is the spool packed and stored?
The spool ships vacuum sealed with a desiccant sachet inside the printed carton, so it arrives dry and ready to mount. PLA takes up moisture from open air, and a wet spool prints with steam pops, stringing and weak layer bonding, so reseal the roll between jobs or keep it in a dry cabinet. Store it out of direct sunlight and away from heat, because UV and heat dull the silk finish, and leave the winding untouched so the red-to-gold ratio feeds evenly across the print.
