Yiqiu3D Silk PLA Filament 1.75mm 1kg Candy Rainbow Gradient 8 Colors High Gloss

Brand: Yiqiu3D · Model: 3D Printing Filament · Glossy decorative prints are judged by the surface, and that is exactly where ordinary PLA falls flat: matte layer lines, a dull sheen and a shade that only reads as premium after sanding and clear coat. This silk grade is built for parts that are looked at rather than loaded - vases, figurines, gift items, cosplay props and display pieces - and it carries a premium sheen straight off the plate.

  • 1.75mm diameter on a standard round spool
  • Drop-in on the 1.75mm FDM machines a workshop or studio already runs - Bambu Lab

Quick Answer

What makes a silk PLA print look different from ordinary PLA?

The finish comes from the pigment and polymer system rather than from a coating: the surface comes off the plate with a smooth, low-glare sheen that follows the layer line instead of scattering light in every direction, which is what makes a plain printed surface look chalky. It is a decorative effect for parts that are seen - display models, vases, figurines, gift items and props. It is not a mechanical upgrade: silk PLA is still PLA, so strength and heat resistance stay in the normal PLA band.

01 · Why this one

Product highlights

2 reasons

1.75mm diameter on a standard round spool, 1 kg net filament per spool and approximately 1675 m of strand per spool, with a nozzle window of 200-225 °C. Diameter and melt window decide whether a large decorative piece prints clean from the first layer to the last, and both are held per spool, so a spool moves between machines without re-tuning the profile.

Drop-in on the 1.75mm FDM machines a workshop or studio already runs - Bambu Lab, Creality, Prusa and similar - and the round spool seats in a standard holder or dry box with no adapter. Silk PLA is a decorative material, not a structural one: parts that carry load, take heat or need to bend belong on a stronger PLA+ or carbon-fibre grade rather than this finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a silk PLA print look different from ordinary PLA?
The finish comes from the pigment and polymer system rather than from a coating: the surface comes off the plate with a smooth, low-glare sheen that follows the layer line instead of scattering light in every direction, which is what makes a plain printed surface look chalky. It is a decorative effect for parts that are seen - display models, vases, figurines, gift items and props. It is not a mechanical upgrade: silk PLA is still PLA, so strength and heat resistance stay in the normal PLA band.
Will it run on the FDM machines we already have?
Yes. It is 1.75mm filament for standard 1.75mm FDM machines - Bambu Lab, Creality, Prusa and similar - and the round spool needs no adapter for a standard spool holder or dry box. PLA prints without an enclosure or a heated chamber, so a studio does not have to buy new hardware to add this finish to its line. For strength-critical parts, use a stronger PLA+ or carbon-fibre grade instead.
What nozzle temperature should I set?
The nozzle window for this grade is 200-225 °C. Start in the middle of that window and move up only if a fast profile under-extrudes on a fine detail model. Bed temperature settings stay with your own machine profile rather than with the spool, so keep the bed value that already works for PLA on your printer.
How much filament is on one spool, and how far does it go?
Each spool carries 1 kg net filament per spool at 1.75mm diameter, which on this grade is approximately 1675 m of strand - enough for large vases and multi-part decorative sets without a spool change mid-project. Usable length shifts a little with run tolerance, so plan a production batch from the slicer estimate for 1 kg on the 1.75mm profile you use and treat the metre figure as nominal.
Which colours are available, and how consistent are they between batches?
Candy1 Silk leads the range: Candy1 Silk, Candy2 Silk Macaron, Candy3 Silk, Candy4 Silk, Candy5 Silk, Candy 9 (Regular), Candy 11 (Regular), Candy12 Matte and Candy 15 (Regular). Pigment is dosed against a fixed target per colourway, but silk and candy shades are the hardest to judge on screen, so place a trial order in the shade your customers buy and compare it on the plate before committing to a full range.
What is a candy gradient silk PLA best used for?
Parts where the surface is the product: vases and planters, figurines and display models, gift items, cosplay props, desk accessories and seasonal decor in silk, macaron or matte colourways. It is not for structural or load-bearing parts - brackets, jigs, hinges and anything checked with a gauge belong on a stronger PLA+ or carbon-fibre grade, because silk pigment does not add strength and PLA softens well below the temperatures a functional part has to survive.
How is the spool packed, and how should I store it?
Each spool is vacuum sealed in a moisture-barrier bag with a desiccant pack and shipped on a standard round spool. After opening, reseal the bag or move the spool into a dry box with desiccant and keep it out of direct sunlight. Damp PLA pops in the nozzle and prints bubbly patches that ruin the silk surface - for a decor product, the finish is the whole point, so store it dry.
