This stuff has clogged my machine two times now within 24 hours so i will not be using the rest of it. garbage!
Silk Triple Color PLA 3D Printer Filament 1.75mm 250g
Experience vibrant multicolor 3D prints with this silk PLA filament. Featuring co-extruded triple colors, high dimensional accuracy, and smooth extrusion for clean, glossy models. Compatible with 1.75mm nozzles.
Colorful Coextruded Silk PLA
This unique filament features three colors coextruded within one strand, revealing varying hues such as rose red, sky blue, and green or combinations including dark blue. This enables multicolor effects on even small prints, adding depth and surprise to your models.
With its silk PLA composition, each print reflects a glossy, smooth finish elevating the aesthetic quality of your 3D creations.
Precision and Printing Performance
The filament is precisely manufactured with a diameter tolerance of ±0.03mm ensuring consistent extrusion and strong layer adhesion. Its smooth unwinding from the spool prevents tangling and line breaking during printing.
Pre-dried for 24 hours and vacuum sealed with desiccants, the filament resists moisture, delivering clog-free and bubble-free printing for clean results.
- Diameter: 1.75mm ±0.03mm
- Nozzle temperature: 190-220°C
- Bed temperature: 50-60°C
- Print speed: 30-60mm/s
- Nozzle size: ≥0.4mm
Usage Tips for Optimal Results
Check nozzle temperature settings before printing and ensure filament is untangled. Clean or replace the nozzle regularly to avoid jams.
Store the filament sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can cause brittleness.
First layer speed should be set at 40-60mm/s to promote adherence. Applying PVA glue to the print bed and re-leveling the platform can improve first layer adhesion when needed.
Material and Sustainability
Made from PLA, a biodegradable thermoplastic derived from renewable resources, this filament offers an eco-friendly option for 3D printing enthusiasts.
The packaging process includes drying and vacuum sealing to maintain filament quality and longevity.

02 What diameter is the Silk PLA filament?
The filament has a diameter of 1.75mm with a dimensional accuracy tolerance of ±0.03mm.
03 What is the recommended printing temperature for this filament?
Recommended nozzle temperature is between 190°C and 220°C (374°F - 428°F).
04 What is the ideal printing bed temperature?
The print bed temperature should be set between 50°C and 60°C (122°F - 140°F).
05 How heavy is the filament spool?
Each spool contains 250 grams (0.55 lbs) of filament.
06 Is moisture absorption a concern for this filament?
Yes, the filament is dried for 24 hours prior to vacuum sealing with desiccants to prevent moisture absorption, which can lead to brittleness or degradation.
07 Does the filament produce stringing or bubbles during printing?
No, due to thorough drying and vacuum packaging, the filament prints with no stringing and no bubbles.
08 What print speeds work best with this filament?
Recommended print speeds are between 30-60 mm/s, with first layer speeds suggested between 40-60 mm/s for optimal adhesion.
09 Will this filament clog the nozzle?
No, it is designed to avoid clogging and line breaking during printing for a smoother experience.
10 Are there any tips to improve print adhesion on the build plate?
Applying PVA glue to the plate surface and re-leveling the print bed can improve adhesion if the first layer shows poor results.
