The PLA Dual Silk filament from the Panchroma series introduces a unique feature with its captivating color change effect, thanks to the blend of two carefully chosen, smoothly transitioning colors. This combination creates a striking, glossy finish that enhances the visual appeal of any project. The filament produces a smooth, high-quality surface with minimal layer lines, making it ideal for decorative objects or prototypes. With its range of vibrant color options, PLA Dual Silk ensures an eye-catching and refined aesthetic while offering reliable and easy printing performance.
The Panchroma range of 3D printing filaments offers a wide selection of colors, surface textures, and filament effects, each carefully crafted to deliver optimal printability and exceptional visual appeal. The formulation of PLA Dual Silk ensures superior results across all projects, making it ideal for high-precision applications where both aesthetics and functionality are crucial. This filament is perfect for designers looking to produce prototypes or end products with a premium finish.
Printing with PLA Dual Silk is simple and efficient, with a recommended extrusion temperature between 190-230 ºC and a bed temperature of 25-60 ºC. For optimal results it is recommended to use printing speeds in the range of 40-60 mm/s. Its innovative spool design features an anti-slip edge, providing smooth operation, especially when used with automatic material handling systems like the Bambu Lab AMS, enhancing its adaptability for a range of modern 3D printing setups.

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.
