Silk PLA printing

Silk PLA gives decorative prints a reflective, glossy surface. It suits ornaments, display models, badges, and sculptural pieces. Choose it primarily for appearance; do not assume it matches ordinary PLA’s performance in snap fits or loaded parts. Keep external-wall speed consistent for an even sheen. Place the seam on a hidden edge when the model allows. Dry according to the spool specification if extrusion pops or strings heavily. For multi-color silk, orientation can change the apparent color from different viewpoints.
