Bambu Lab PLA Silk+ Gold 1kg – Refill

Product Description

Bambu Lab PLA Silk+ Gold 1kg – Refill is a top-tier PLA filament with a silky glossy surface in an attractive gold color. Thanks to the special PLA Silk+ formulation, you get prints with a polished metal effect that stand out with smooth light transitions and minimally visible layers when correct printing parameters are maintained.

The Refill (without plastic spool) variant is wound on a cardboard core and is intended for combination with the Bambu Lab Reusable Spool. This system saves plastic waste, storage space, and facilitates filament use in Bambu Lab printers, especially in combination with AMS/AMS Lite.

Key Features

• Silky, high-gloss surface – luxury appearance reminiscent of a metallic gold surface, ideal for decorative and representative models.
• Enhanced layer adhesion – the specially developed PLA Silk+ formula ensures better layer cohesion compared to standard silk PLA.
• Reliable and easy printing – low warping, excellent bed adhesion, and compatibility with profiles in Bambu Studio.
• Refill system – filament on a cardboard core for use with the Bambu Lab Reusable Spool, less waste and easy replacement.
• AMS compatibility – suitable for Bambu Lab AMS / AMS Lite, ideal for multi-color printing or automatic material changes.
• Standard diameter 1,75 mm with tight tolerance for stable material flow.
• Universal use – figurines, statues, cosplay props, trophies, signs, logos, gift items, design prototypes.

Recommended Use

PLA Silk+ Gold is ideal wherever the main goal is an attractive appearance:

• decorative models and design interior accessories
• cosplay costume parts, jewelry, emblems, logos
• trophies, medals, commemorative plaques and awards
• display models and prototypes for presentations

For maximum gloss, it is recommended to reduce outer wall speed (e.g., to approx. 50 mm/s) and print with a finer layer height.

Printing Recommendations

These values may vary depending on the specific printer and settings, but are based on the manufacturer's recommendations for PLA Silk+:

• Nozzle temperature: approx. 210–230 °C (depending on profile and print speed)
• Bed temperature: approx. 35–45 °C
• Outer wall print speed: around 50 mm/s for best gloss
• Build plate: textured or satin PEI plate recommended; use a clean surface without grease
• Storage: keep dry (ideally in a closed box or bag with silica gel); filament can be dried before printing for maximum surface quality.

Technical Parameters

Values are based on the Bambu Lab PLA Silk+ technical data sheet; follow specific recommendations in the filament profile in your slicer.

Advantages of the Refill Variant

• Less plastic waste – a reusable plastic spool is utilized.
• Lower environmental footprint – smaller amount of packaging material.
• Better logistics and storage – more compact packaging, easier handling.

If you already own a Bambu Lab Reusable Spool, simply mount the Refill onto it and you can print immediately. In combination with AMS, convenient filament identification and trouble-free operation are ensured.
