Yiqiu3D Silk PLA Rainbow Gradient Filament 1.75mm 1kg Candy Silk Transition

Brand: Yiqiu3D · Bored of single-color prints? Gradient silk filament shifts through rainbow hues along every layer — candy-stick color transitions, mystic black-purple and laser blue-green create patterns no static filament can.

  • Eight curated gradients: Rainbow Green/Blue Sprite
  • Smooth transition
  • round 1.75 mm cross-section and even winding avoid kinks that break the color rhythm.

Quick Answer

How does rainbow gradient silk PLA create multiple colors from one spool?

Each spool is extruded with color segments that repeat along the filament length. As the nozzle feeds, each segment prints a band of its color, so one continuous print shows repeating rainbow transitions. Colors like Candy Stick and Gold+Rose Red are pre-programmed at extrusion to give specific sequences.

Is it right for my project?

Best for: For showpieces and retail displays that photograph well without post-processing - available in 9 colours; 1kg spools; lead colour Silk Rainbow Rose. Not ideal for: Not for outdoor signage - UV dulls the finish; switch to ASA instead - available in 9 colours; 1kg spools; lead colour Silk Rainbow Rose.

01 · Why this one

Product highlights

4 reasons

Eight curated gradients: Rainbow Green/Blue Sprite, Candy Stick, Mini Color, Gold+Rose Red, Mystic Black Purple and Laser Blue Green — each spool is a designer's palette.

Smooth transition, no harsh seams: color segments are blended so gradients flow organically

round 1.75 mm cross-section and even winding avoid kinks that break the color rhythm.

Silk gloss on top of the rainbow: the same mirror-like silk finish makes gradients pop

print at 220°C on Bambu Lab, Creality or Anycubic for vivid, glossy color shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does rainbow gradient silk PLA create multiple colors from one spool?
Each spool is extruded with color segments that repeat along the filament length. As the nozzle feeds, each segment prints a band of its color, so one continuous print shows repeating rainbow transitions. Colors like Candy Stick and Gold+Rose Red are pre-programmed at extrusion to give specific sequences.
Will this work on my Bambu Lab or Creality printer?
Yes — it's standard 1.75 mm round filament on a normal spool, compatible with Bambu Lab, Creality, Prusa, Anycubic and most open FDM machines. No multi-color printer or AMS is required: the gradient is in the filament itself.
What temperature settings do gradient silk filaments need?
Nozzle 220°C, bed 50–60°C, fan 100% after the first layers. Keeping temperature steady matters: the silk gloss and color depth both depend on consistent melt flow, so avoid drafty enclosures that cool the nozzle unevenly.
How much can I print with a 1 kg rainbow spool?
A 1 kg spool holds roughly 330 meters of filament — enough for several medium models or a collection of small gradient vases. Because each color segment is about 1–2 meters long, larger prints show the full repeating rainbow more than once.
Is the color transition smooth or does it change in blocks?
Transitions are smooth: segments are blended with soft boundaries, so colors melt into each other rather than snapping in hard bands. The visible effect depends on model height — tall thin prints stretch the gradient; short wide prints compress it.
What speed gives the best gradient effect?
Medium speeds of 40–70 mm/s give the cleanest, glossiest transitions. Very high speeds shorten the distance each color band travels and can make transitions look rushed. For predictable gradients, keep speed constant across the whole print.
What are the best uses for rainbow gradient prints?
It's ideal for vases, art sculptures, dragon figures, phone stands, lampshades and display pieces where the rainbow transition is the design. The silk finish adds a premium look; avoid structural parts — choose PETG/ABS for load-bearing use.
How is the gradient filament packed and stored?
Vacuum-sealed with desiccant, one spool per box, with foam protection for export. Keep in the sealed bag below 25°C and under 50% humidity; reseal after each use, as absorbed moisture dulls both the gloss and the gradient clarity.
