Filament Silk PLA 1.75mm 1kg Silver jedwabisty połysk Silver

Filament Prof. Lab Silk PLA 1.75mm 1KG – Silver (Silver Satin Gloss) | Premium

Give your 3D prints a dazzling metallic shine and a luxurious, silky finish. Professional Silk PLA filament from the Prof. series. Lab in the elegant Silver color is the highest quality material produced in Poland by Imagine s.c. The Silk series was created to obtain an exceptionally high, satin gloss (silk-like finish), which spectacularly reflects light and makes the finished models look as if made of polished, liquid metal.

Thanks to its optically advanced structure, this filament fantastically masks the boundaries between subsequent layers, making the extrusion lines almost invisible and the surfaces become perfectly smooth. Filament Prof. Lab Silk PLA contains advanced structural modifiers that significantly improve mechanical durability, increase flexibility and prevent brittleness of models, while maintaining the legendary ease of printing classic polylactide. The material is characterized by excellent interlayer adhesion and very low shrinkage (minimal warping), which allows for trouble-free printing without the need to use a closed chamber. This filament is an ideal choice for the production of decorative models, vases, statuettes, jewelry, armor replicas, props (cosplay), artistic articles and show models.

Properties and advantages of the filament Prof. Lab Silk PLA Silver:

• Spectacular silky shine: Unique additives give surfaces a high gloss imitating polished silver or satin, completely eliminating the raw, plastic look.
• Increased flexibility and durability: The special formula makes Silk series prints more flexible and resistant to impacts and cracking than standard, budget PLA.
• Unrivaled sidewall aesthetics: Satin finish effectively diffuses light along the Z axis, masking nozzle transition lines and minimal calibration imperfections.
• Polish quality and precision: The thread diameter of 1.75 mm, controlled with an accuracy of +/- 0.03 mm, guarantees perfectly even material feeding, eliminating the risk of thickening and blockages in the hotend.

Recommendations and suggested print settings:

Due to the content of optical modifiers giving the "Silk" effect, it is recommended to use slightly higher printing temperatures to obtain maximum shine and durability:

• Nozzle temperature: 200°C - 230°C (It is recommended to start from ~215°C. A higher extrusion temperature usually enhances the effect of a spectacular, mirror shine).

• Table temperature (Heated bed): 40°C - 60°C (For glass platforms or PEI sheets, the optimal range is 50-60°C).

• Print cooling: 80% - 100% (Intensive blowing ensures impeccable reproduction of overhangs and sharp geometric details).

• Speed tip: To obtain a perfectly uniform, glossy coating without dull zones, it is recommended to maintain a constant, moderate printing speed for external walls (e.g. 40-50 mm/s).

• Compatibility with nozzles: The filament does not contain abrasive particles and is 100% safe for standard brass nozzles with a diameter of 0.4 mm and smaller.
