Silk Gloss PLA (polylactic acid) is modified with another polymer to have a very smooth and silky surface finish with a high level of light dispersion and reflection. Silk Gloss PLA exhibits excellent 3D printing properties and allows objects to be 3D printed with a high level of glossiness and almost no visible layers.
Unique features
- Good surface quality
-
- Shiny silk gloss surface finish without visible layers and fine detail
- High level of light dispersion and reflection
- Lowering printing speed and temperature increases the silk gloss effect
- Easy to 3D print
-
- Warp-free printing and improved flowing behaviour
- Excellent first layer adhesion to several (un)heated print surfaces
- Compatible with AquaSolve PVA for complex dual extrusion 3D printing
- Wide variety of vivid and brilliant silk gloss colours
Applications
- Aesthetics, design, and art
- Complex educational projects and models
- Household articles
- Visualization aids
General printing guidelines *
| Nozzle size: ≥ 0.15mm | Layer height: ≥ 0.1mm | Experience level: Beginner |
| Print temp: ± 215 – 230° C | Fan speed: 50-100% | |
| Heat bed: ± 0 – 60° C | Enclosure needed: No |
*) Above displayed settings are meant as guidance to find your optimal print settings. These ranges in settings should work for most printers, but please do feel free to experiment outside these ranges if you think it is suitable for your printer. There are a lot of different types of printers, hot-ends, and printer offset that it is extremely difficult to give an overall one-size-fits-all setting.
