The PLA Magic Silk bicolor filament by R3D is a filament that features 2 colors on a
single spool, which results in a visually attractive color-changing effect. The color-changing effect in dual-color 3D printing filaments arises from combining two materials or pigments in a single strand. During printing, this fused filament creates transitions or distinct color changes. It results from the interaction of light and pigments, determining the perceived color by light absorption and reflection on the object's surface. Optics principles explain light interaction, causing color variations when viewed from different angles or lighting conditions.

Thus, the PLA Magic Silk bicolor filament by R3D allows for the 3D printing of multicolor objects without the need to use a dual-extruder 3D printer. This makes the 3D printing process not only faster but more affordable. PLA Magic Silk bicolor is available in attractive color combinations such as blue and green, gold and copper, rose red and royal blue, purple and gold or black and rose red. The transitions between the colors are extremely subtle and the final result is a truly magical color-changing effect.

As a PLA filament, the PLA Magic Silk dual-color filament offers a blend of advantageous properties. Known for its biodegradability and derived from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane, PLA is environmentally friendly. It exhibits low warping, making it ideal for printing on 3D printers without a heated bed. Additionally, PLA's ease of use and minimal odor during printing contribute to its widespread appeal among hobbyists and professionals alike in the 3D printing community.

R3D is a brand founded in 2013 and one of the biggest filament manufacturers in the world with a daily output of more than 8000 kg. Their materials are high quality, reliable and environmentally friendly thanks to the spool and box made of recycled material.

The recommended printing temperature for the PLA Magic Silk filament ranges between 195-215 ºC, and the best bed temperature is 40-60 ºC. The recommended printing speed is 50-70 mm/s.

Proper storage of the PLA Magic Silk filament is essential, as processing damp filament can lead to polymer chain degradation, fragility, poor layer adhesion, stringing, and oozing. It's best to store the filament in a sealed bag with desiccant or in a vacuum-sealed filament container.
