Yiqiu3D Silk PLA Dual & Tri-Color Filament 1.75mm, Laser Metallic Shine, 8 Color Combos

Brand: Yiqiu3D · Two-tone silk prints normally need glue, paint or two separate spools to get a colour split. This laser metallic silk filament carries two colours in one strand, so a single spool lays down a mirror-like dual-tone surface with the metallic sheen and the colour transition built into the print itself.

  • Metallic-look filament is prone to clogging because the pigment load raises viscosity
  • Colour split position is what buyers pay for here
  • Mixed two-colour spools are usually the least consistent item in a filament range

Quick Answer

Does laser metallic silk PLA contain real metal?

No. It is PLA plastic with a co-extruded colour pair and a silk pigment system that produces a glossy, metallic-looking surface. The base material is a printable PLA, so it behaves like PLA on the printer and a standard nozzle is enough; no metal, glass or stone is involved.

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 9 colours. Not ideal for: Not suited to tight-tolerance stressed parts; a carbon-fibre grade holds up better - available in 9 colours.

01 · Why this one

Product highlights

3 reasons

Metallic-look filament is prone to clogging because the pigment load raises viscosity, and a clog mid-print wastes hours. This grade is extruded with controlled pigment loading and a 1.75mm diameter tolerance, so it feeds steadily at 200-225 C on a standard FDM printer with a 0.4mm nozzle and lays a uniform, glossy bead.

Colour split position is what buyers pay for here, and it drifts when winding tension is uneven. Spools in this series are wound with in-line diameter gauging and run on a fixed 200-225 C window, so the dual-tone seam lands predictably on the same profile and repeat orders print the same way.

Mixed two-colour spools are usually the least consistent item in a filament range, and it shows up as visible shade mismatch inside one product photo. Each run here uses one dye lot, is kept segregated from the next, and is vacuum sealed per spool, so both the parts and the product images stay consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does laser metallic silk PLA contain real metal?
No. It is PLA plastic with a co-extruded colour pair and a silk pigment system that produces a glossy, metallic-looking surface. The base material is a printable PLA, so it behaves like PLA on the printer and a standard nozzle is enough; no metal, glass or stone is involved.
Can I print two-tone models on a single-nozzle printer?
Yes. The two colours sit along the same strand, so a single-nozzle FDM printer with a 1.75mm path and a 0.4mm nozzle produces the dual-tone effect; no dual extruder and no colour mixing hardware is required. Bambu Lab and Creality style machines work, as do other common desktop printers.
What print temperature and settings should I use?
Print at 200-225 C. Keep the cooling fan moderate so the metallic sheen is not dulled and layer bonding holds, and slow the first layer if your build plate adhesion is weak.
What do I get on one spool and how much can I print?
1 kg net filament per spool at 1.75mm diameter, approximately 335 m. One spool covers a medium decor piece plus small parts, or a set of small display items, which is why this SKU is usually ordered in mixed-colour cartons for retail.
Which two-tone colourways are available?
The lead colour is Silk Dual Color Blue plus Green, and the range covers Blue plus Red, Blue plus Purple Red, Gold plus Blue, Sky Blue plus Purple Blue, Black plus Purple Blue, Bright Gold plus Red, Bright Gold plus Rose Red and Bright Gold plus Pink, 9 colourways in this listing.
What are the best uses for dual-tone metallic silk filament?
Decorative and display work where the surface carries the value: figurines, art and craft pieces, cosplay armour panels, awards and retail display props. It is not suited to tight-tolerance stressed parts, where a carbon-fibre or engineering grade holds up better.
How is the spool packed and how should it be stored?
Spools are vacuum sealed for shipment. After opening, keep the spool closed with desiccant below 30 C and below 50 percent relative humidity, re-seal partly used spools, and keep them out of direct sunlight, which dulls the metallic sheen.
