Printing with PLA Silk is straightforward, with a recommended extrusion temperature between 190-230 ºC and a bed temperature range of 25-60 ºC. It can be printed at speeds of up to 200 mm/s, providing flexibility for a variety of print speeds without compromising quality. The filament is designed with a smart spool that features an anti-slip edge, ensuring a hassle-free experience when used with automatic material systems such as the Bambu Lab AMS, making it an adaptable solution for modern 3D printing workflows.

Like any 3D printing filament, the Panchroma PLA filaments should be stored properly in order to avoid their deterioration and, in consequence, extrusion problems and inferior print quality. The spool can be stored in an airtight plastic bag, in a resealable bag with a desiccant capsule, or in a smart filament container. If the filament has absorbed too much moisture, it must be dried before printing in a filament dryer for 6 hours at 55 ºC or in the PolyDryer solution. The recommended settings are setting 1 for Panchroma PLA Silk and others, and settings 1-3 for PLA Matte and Satin.

The Panchroma PLA filaments should be extruded at a temperature of 190-230 ºC on a bed heated to 25-60 ºC. It is recommended to use the cooling fan at 100% but a printer with a heated chamber is not needed. As far as the printing speed, it is recommended to use max. 200 mm/s for the PLA Silk and other Panchroma PLA varieties, max. 300 mm/s for the PLA Satin and Matte PLA, and max. 400 mm/s for CoPE.

Complex parts can be 3D printed with the Panchroma PLA filaments with the help of support filaments such as the PolySupport filament or the PolyDissolve S1 filament.

Panchroma PLA Glow and Panchroma PLA Luminous are glow-in-the-dark materials enriched with an abrasive additive, making a hardened nozzle essential for printing. These filaments should not be used in AMS systems with plastic gears or tubes due to their abrasive nature.

Extra Tools to Enhance the Printing Experience

To further facilitate the 3D printing experience, support tools such as app.polymaker.com, an interactive comparison tool for mechanical, technical, and color properties among different filaments, and wiki.polymaker.com, a quick and comprehensive guide on using our products and 3D printing recommendations, can be utilized.
