Printing Tips
- Silk-like PLA generally prints best slightly hotter and slower than standard PLA.
- Reducing outer-wall speed can improve gloss, surface finish, and layer adhesion.
- Because silk additives can reduce layer adhesion compared with standard PLA, this material is best suited for decorative and visual parts rather than heavily loaded structural components.
- For stronger parts, increase wall count, use adequate infill, print slightly hotter, and avoid excessive part cooling.
- Store the spool sealed and dry when not in use to maintain clean extrusion and surface quality.
