Now our new preium PLA silk filament is made in USA, shinner surface finish and more color choices.

Please note, silk filament, in general, has weaker layer adhesion because of the additive that makes it shiny. It needs to be printed at higher temperature (around 220-230°C), slower speed and less part cooling. Increasing extrusion multiplier and infill/perimeters overlap also helps. However, even with these additional measures, silk filament is still better for aesthetic parts, instead of structural parts.

    Shiny and Professional

    Posted by Brian Skoog on May 24th 2019

    I can’t say enough good things about this filament. It comes out an extremely satisfying, rich candy apple green with excellent shine. So far I’ve used it to print game pieces, a spiral vase, containers, and prototype parts, and I can see a lot more coming in the future.

    Here are the settings that worked for me:
    Nozzle Temperature: 200C
    Bed Temperature: 60C
    Layer Height: 0.2mm
    Print Speed: 50-65mm/s
    Retraction Distance: 0.4mm
    Retraction Speed: 60mm/s

    Note: having a smaller retraction distance really helps to avoid clogging with this filament.

    PS - It smells slightly different than standard PLA; I assume that’s from whatever makes it silk PLA over standard.

    Great Pearl White

    Posted by Jerad Perkins on May 9th 2019

    This filament looks like a pearl white when printed. The description advised that it is a moderate level to print. I did not find it very difficult to print at all. Print some quick test files to dial-in the temperature and speed settings. I will definitely be purchasing it again soon

    Great Filament and easy to print with

    Posted by Dwayne Deininger on May 1st 2019

    Purchased a roll for this gold to try the new composite filament and was not disappointed, It was very easy to print with following the suggested setting and the print was very smooth and shinny. I used 235c at 80mm and .15 layer and first print was prefect, No issues with print and very happy with this product. I can't wait to try the other colors
