Before You Ask
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the silk effect achieved?
Pearlescent masterbatch blended into the PLA plus stable extrusion diameter gives the glossy sheen; silk grades bond weaker between layers, so keep parts decorative.
Will it work on my printer?
Yes, it is compatible with mainstream FDM printers that accept 1.75mm filament on a PLA profile.
What temperature range does silk PLA use?
Recommended 200-225C; the lower end favors fine surface detail on model parts.
How many parts per spool?
Slice each part for weight, then divide the spool's usable filament weight by that number; hollowing large hulls or bodies stretches the yield.
Which colors can I mix in one order?
Purple as listed, plus black, white, red, yellow, green, orange, pink and blue; matte variants exist in the source range - ask for the current chart.
Do you provide carton marks for distributors?
Yes, wholesale cartons can carry your marks and color codes; send the marking layout with your order confirmation.
What suits this filament?
Scale model bodies, display builds, figurines and decorative parts; not structural spars, gears or outdoor pieces.
How do I store it?
Keep the vacuum seal and desiccant until use; store cool and dry, and re-dry the spool if prints show surface bubbles.
