Unique silk luster texture, smooth surface, bright color and strong visual impact.
Excellent gloss, good mechanical properties and toughness.
Non-irritating odor, environmental protection, non-toxic, and easy to print.
The color is changeable and the transition is natural.
PLA Silk Printed Models can be directly used as a Decoration without coloring, but this Silk Filament Material is brittle and easy to break, so it is not suitable for structural parts.
Dimensional Accuracy & Consistency:
Our premium PLA Silk filament is manufactured using state-of-the-art CCD measurement technology, ensuring precise diameter control throughout production. Each spool maintains a consistent 1.75mm diameter with industry-leading tolerance of ±0.03mm, setting new standards for dimensional accuracy.

We package our professional-grade filament in convenient 1kg spools (2.2lbs), optimized for extended printing sessions. The standardized dimensions and universal spool design guarantee compatibility with mainstream FDM 3D printers, making it an ideal choice for both professional and hobbyist applications.
Clogging-free & Bubbles-free

Our PLA Silk 3D printer filament undergoes a rigorous 24-hour dehydration process before packaging, ensuring optimal printing quality. Each spool receives premium protection through vacuum-sealed nylon packaging with professional-grade desiccant, guaranteeing material stability during storage and transport.

To maintain the silk-like printing quality, we recommend proper storage practices after opening. Store your filament in the provided resealable aluminum foil bag to protect against moisture absorption. This storage method preserves the material's exceptional printing characteristics, ensuring consistent performance throughout your projects.
