Silk PLA Tri-Color red yellow green | Smart Print

Filament Smart Print Silk PLA Tri-Color 1.75mm 1KG – Red-Yellow-Green (Tricolor with Gloss) | Premium

Take your 3D prints to a completely new level of visual magnetism and unique aesthetics. Professional Smart Print Silk PLA filament from the Tri-Color (Red-Yellow-Green) series is a revolutionary premium decorative material, produced in Poland by Imagine s.c. Unlike traditional gradient (rainbow) filaments, Tri-Color technology involves co-extruding three independent colors - vivid red, sunny yellow and juicy green - in one filament thread (coextrusion). This means that all three colors are visible on the model surface at the same time, and their arrangement smoothly changes and shimmers depending on the viewing angle and the geometry of the solid. The unique Silk polymer base guarantees a luxurious, glossy finish with a natural silk structure that phenomenally disperses light and almost completely masks the micro-boundaries of the layers straight from the working platform. This is an unrivaled choice for printing artistic models, vases, sculptures, figurines, cosplay elements and advertising gadgets that are designed to attract attention with a dynamic play of colors.

Properties and advantages of the Smart Print Silk PLA Tri-Color filament:

• Fascinating multi-colored shimmering effect (Tri-Color): Thanks to the simultaneous running of three colors in the cross-section of the thread, the finished print changes its color when the model is rotated. This effect creates unusual tonal transitions, giving the illusion of three-dimensional color depth without the use of multi-material systems.
• Spectacular silky shine (Silk Effect): Special refining additives give the outer walls a high, satin shine. The surface perfectly masks the nozzle transition lines, giving the models an exclusive, smooth character.
• Exceptional ease of printing: Despite advanced optical modifications, the material retains all the greatest advantages of classic PLA. It is characterized by negligible thermal shrinkage, no unpleasant odor and excellent adhesion to the substrate (no edge curling).
• High layer cohesion: Silk modification improves the flexibility and cohesion of the material, making the layers bond extremely strongly and the finished prints are much less brittle than in the case of standard, unmodified PLA.
• Exemplary dimensional precision of the thread: Strict production control ensures a constant filament diameter of 1.75 mm with a tolerance of +/- 0.03 mm, guaranteeing even, smooth and stable material dosing by the extruder.

Recommendations and suggested print settings:

Silk Tri-Color materials are extremely easy to process, but the degree of gloss obtained and the stability of the color system depend on the temperature and printing dynamics. The following data are recommended guidelines:

• Head temperature (hotend): 200°C - 230°C (Tip: A higher temperature in this range usually allows you to obtain the maximum mirror shine from the material, while a lower temperature gives a more satin finish)

• Table temperature (bed): 40°C – 60°C

• Print cooling: 80-100% (Intensive airflow helps maintain impeccable geometry of details and smooth overhangs)

• Tip regarding thread guidance: To obtain the most predictable and repeatable color distribution in the print, it is worth ensuring that the filament does not twist axially between the spool and the extruder during feeding. The material does not have abrasive properties - standard brass nozzles can be used without any problems (recommended diameter min. 0.4 mm).
