Filament Silk PLA White 1.75mm 1kg White Glossy Smart Print

Filament Smart Print Silk PLA 1.75mm 1KG – White (Pearl Snow White with Gloss) | Premium

Bring impeccable purity of form, luxurious shine and spectacular surface finish to your 3D projects. Professional Smart Print Silk PLA filament in snow white (White) is a unique premium decorative material, produced in Poland by Imagine s.c.. This material is based on advanced modified polylactide, which guarantees an unusual, glossy finish with a natural silk structure (Silk finish). The satin, deep gloss of white perfectly disperses the light on the edges of the models, giving them a pearly character, thanks to which the boundaries of individual layers become almost invisible to the naked eye immediately after printing. The use of proprietary optical and structural inhibitors increases mechanical durability and brings out the fascinating tonal depth of the material. It is a perfect choice for the production of artistic models, elegant vases, sculptures, modern interior decorative elements, wedding decorations, mock-ups and advertising gadgets that are to delight with their exclusive appearance without time-consuming post-processing.

Properties and advantages of the Smart Print Silk PLA White filament:

• Luxurious, pearly shine of silk (Silk Effect): Special refining additives give the outer walls a high, satin shine, which, combined with pure white, creates the effect of an exclusive, silk finish.
• 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 / warping).
• Perfect layer masking: The unique polymer structure reflects and refracts light in such a way that the nozzle micro-transition lines become virtually invisible, giving the models a perfectly smooth, factory appearance (end-use appearance).
• High consistency and flexibility: Silk modification noticeably improves the plastic's ductility and inter-layer cohesion, making the finished prints more resistant to cracking and less brittle than in the case of standard, unmodified PLA.
• Exemplary dimensional precision of the thread: Strict laser control at the extrusion stage ensures a constant filament diameter of 1.75 mm with a strict tolerance of +/- 0.03 mm, guaranteeing smooth and stable dosing of the material by the extruder.

Recommendations and suggested print settings:

Silk PLA materials are extremely easy to process, but the intensity of the final gloss depends directly on the thermal parameters and printing speed. 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 a maximum, almost mirror-like shine from the material, while a lower temperature gives a more matte-satin finish)

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

• Print cooling: 80-100% (Intensive fan airflow helps maintain impeccable geometry of details, sharp edges and smoothness of overhangs and bridges)

• Retraction and mechanics: Due to the increased fluidity of the molten Silk polymer, it is recommended to precisely adjust the length and speed of retraction to avoid fine stringing. The material does not have abrasive properties - standard brass nozzles with a diameter of at least 0.4 mm can be used without any problems.
