Tri-Color Silk PLA Filament 1.75mm 1KG Gradient Shiny

Brand: Yiqiu3D · Model: 202608150000468 · Single-colour prints look flat on shelf displays. This tri-colour silk filament carries red, gold and black in one strand, so prints come off the plate with colour bands shifting across faces and curves without a filament change or a multi-material unit. Standard 1.75mm, 1 kg net filament per spool.

  • Band widths should be predictable
  • Trial rolls that arrive wet or tangled cost more in rework than in material. Specs are published: 1.75mm
  • Silk grades string more than standard PLA

Quick Answer

What is tri-colour silk filament and how does the colour change work?

Three colour streams - red, gold and black in this combination - are co-extruded into one strand, so the printed surface shows all three in bands that shift as the part curves. The base material is still PLA plastic with a high-gloss silk finish, not a metal or glass material.

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; 1kg spools. Not ideal for: Not suited to tight-tolerance stressed parts; a carbon-fibre grade holds up better - available in 9 colours; 1kg spools.

01 · Why this one

Product highlights

3 reasons

Band widths should be predictable, not random. The three colour streams are co-extruded in a fixed rotation, so the same model printed twice at the same height and speed reads the same way - what changes is which face catches the light, not how much colour you get. The look is a glossy plastic finish, not a metal, glass or stone material.

Trial rolls that arrive wet or tangled cost more in rework than in material. Specs are published: 1.75mm, 1 kg net filament per spool, approximately 330 meters per spool, nozzle 200-225 C, RoHS documentation available upon request. Vacuum-sealed with desiccant so the batch prints the same at the end of the spool.

Silk grades string more than standard PLA, so tuning matters. Run 200-225 C at moderate speed with retraction dialled in for your hotend, and the tri-colour gloss builds cleanly on figurines, vases, sign letters and gift packaging - no sanding or priming to rescue a dull surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is tri-colour silk filament and how does the colour change work?
Three colour streams - red, gold and black in this combination - are co-extruded into one strand, so the printed surface shows all three in bands that shift as the part curves. The base material is still PLA plastic with a high-gloss silk finish, not a metal or glass material.
Which printers does it run on?
It is 1.75mm filament for standard FDM printers such as Bambu Lab, Creality, Prusa, Anycubic and Elegoo. No multi-material unit is needed: the colour comes from the strand, so a single-nozzle machine produces the tri-colour effect. On Bowden setups keep retraction moderate because silk grades string.
What print temperature should I use?
200-225 C at the nozzle. Around 210 C with moderate speed gives the strongest gloss, and lower speeds keep the colour bands crisp. No heated-bed value is published for this grade, so follow your printer profile for the build plate.
How much filament do I get on a spool?
1 kg net filament per spool, approximately 330 meters in 1.75mm. The quantity is the same for every tri-colour combination in this listing.
Which colour combinations are available, and is the colour consistent between spools?
This listing covers 9 tri-colour combinations, led by Red Gold Black, plus Red Copper Gold Blue, Gold Green Purple, Red Copper Gold Silver, Red Copper Gold Purple, Red Yellow Blue, Red Copper Yellow Blue, Red Gold Blue and Red Green Blue. Colour rotation is set by the same co-extrusion process for each order, so repeat orders read consistently.
What are the best applications for tri-colour silk?
High-gloss art and craft prints: figurines, vases, dragon and animal models, sign letters, gift boxes and shop displays. It is not suited to tight-tolerance stressed parts, where a carbon-fibre grade performs better.
How should the spools be stored?
Leave the spool in its vacuum-sealed pouch with the desiccant until use, then store it cool and dry out of sunlight. An open spool in humid air should be dried before printing to protect the gloss and the colour banding.
