Yiqiu3D Topsun Silk PLA Filament 1.75mm 1kg Dual Color Yellow Green Gradient Custom Combo

Brand: Yiqiu3D · Model: 202608110000126 · A single colour spool cannot deliver a two colour finish: every two-tone print normally costs a second extruder, a manual pause or a painting step, and each method adds scrap and rejects. This Silk PLA is co-extruded so one strand carries gold and green at the same time, giving a shifting gold to green surface straight off the plate with no extra hardware. Print one vase or figurine as a trial and check the transition before you commit volume.

Quick Answer

How does this strand produce two colours, and is the shine a metal coating?

Gold and green PLA are co-extruded side by side into one 1.75 mm strand, so both colours leave the nozzle together and the visible mix changes as the print rises; the ratio depends on the feed, which is why we recommend a test cube first. The shine is a high-gloss additive inside the PLA, not a metal coating and not real metal, so it cannot peel off or corrode, and the part is ordinary plastic that prints on a standard machine. Mechanically it behaves like PLA, so treat it as decorative rather than structural.

Is it right for my project?

Best for: Made for glossy decorative pieces - vases, figurines, gift items and cosplay props with a premium sheen - 1kg spools. Not ideal for: Not for structural or load-bearing parts; use PLA+ or PETG where strength matters - 1kg spools.

01 · Why this one

Product highlights

2 reasons

Gold and Green is the colour pairing of this reference, delivered as one dual colour silk strand: a gold face and a green face with a soft gradient where they meet, and a high-gloss silky surface on both. The sheen is a gloss additive in the PLA, not real metal and not a coating, so it will not peel, corrode or need polishing, while the part still uses ordinary plastic filament on a standard FDM machine.

Run the nozzle inside 200-225 C: the upper half of the window gives the fullest silk sheen, the lower half keeps crisper detail on thin vase walls and small figurines. A 0.4 mm nozzle prints the pair without trouble and a larger nozzle widens the colour separation. Silk PLA needs no heated chamber and no special hardware, but it rewards a slower outer perimeter, a temperature tower to find your machine sweet spot, and a dry spool.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this strand produce two colours, and is the shine a metal coating?
Gold and green PLA are co-extruded side by side into one 1.75 mm strand, so both colours leave the nozzle together and the visible mix changes as the print rises; the ratio depends on the feed, which is why we recommend a test cube first. The shine is a high-gloss additive inside the PLA, not a metal coating and not real metal, so it cannot peel off or corrode, and the part is ordinary plastic that prints on a standard machine. Mechanically it behaves like PLA, so treat it as decorative rather than structural.
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 within the 200-225 C nozzle window. Because both colours sit in one strand, you need no second extruder and no multi-material unit. The 1 kg round spool fits the standard spool holders on these machines. Tell us your machine model and we will confirm the spool and the hot end 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, the lower half holds sharper detail on thin walls. This listing does not publish a bed temperature, a print speed or a layer height, so take those from your printer profile. A slower outer perimeter and a moderate flow produce the most even gold to green transition, and the spool should be dry before a production run.
How much filament is on one spool?
1 kg net filament per spool, plus the spool and the packaging. In 1.75 mm diameter that is approximately 335 m of dual colour strand, which on a desktop machine is roughly fifteen to twenty medium-size decorative parts. The weight we quote and invoice is 1 kg net filament per spool; the spool and the printed carton are additional and are not counted in that figure. Send us your typical vase or figurine weight and we will estimate the yield per spool.
What is the colour of this reference, and how consistent is it between batches?
Gold+Green is the colour pair of this reference, supplied as a single dual colour product on a 1 kg round spool. The gold to green ratio inside a print depends on how the strand feeds, so it shifts with your slicing rather than with the batch, and the pigment is compounded into the resin before extrusion so a repeat order arrives as the same gold and green rather than a near match. Other silk PLA colours and dual colour pairs are quoted separately against a swatch or a Pantone reference.
What should I print with Gold+Green silk PLA?
Decorative and gift work where the colour change is the feature: vases and planters, figurines and collector models, jewellery and desk ornaments, gift boxes and packaging inserts, shop-window display pieces, cosplay accessories, and seasonal decor in green and gold. It is also useful when you want a two-tone look without a second extruder. Do not use it for load-bearing parts, hinges or outdoor items exposed to strong sun: UV dulls the gloss, and a carbon-fibre, nylon or ASA grade suits those jobs.
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 two colours feed in a steady ratio.
