PLA-Silk

eSUN PLA-Silk Filament — Dynamic Silky Luster

eSUN PLA-Silk is made from modified PLA, retaining the easy printing characteristics of standard PLA. It features a delicate surface with a silky luster and no visible layer lines. The support structures can be easily removed while the contact surface remains intact. Additionally, it comes in a wide range of vibrant color choices.

Key Features:

• Dynamic Silky Luster: The surface exhibits a soft, silky gloss with a dynamic sense of color flow, endowing printed models with an elegant and premium visual effect
• Flawless Smooth Finish: Printed models come out exceptionally smooth and flat, effectively minimizing layer lines and revealing a delicate, silk-like texture
• Vibrant Saturated Colors: Available in a wide variety of high-saturation colors, with vivid and brilliant color expression that easily meets diverse creative printing needs
• Excellent Printability

Notes:

• Excessive printing speed reduces surface gloss; slow down the outer-wall speed to enhance shine
• PLA-Silk has slightly poorer cooling performance than regular PLA; use a higher fan speed when printing overhangs
• PLA series materials have low heat resistance; keep the printer enclosure open, and if ambient temperature exceeds 32°C, it's best to turn on air conditioning
