What is Silk PLA filament and how does the tri-colour gradient work?
Silk PLA is PLA plastic with a polymer and pigment system that gives the printed surface a high-gloss, silky sheen; the base material is still PLA plastic, not a metal. In this tri-colour version, red, blue and green are laid along the filament in a fixed repeating sequence, so the colour shifts through the print as the strand is consumed, and the transition point moves depending on the model height.
