Printing Recommendations
For best results, the manufacturer recommends these parameters for the Bambu PLA Silk/Silk+ series (may vary slightly by printer and specific profile):
- Nozzle temperature: approx. 190–230 °C (usually around 210–220 °C depending on speed and nozzle)
- Bed temperature: approx. 35–45 °C
- Max. printing speed: up to ~300 mm/s (in practice, lower speeds on perimeters for the best surface)
- Cooling: high, according to the PLA profile in Bambu Studio
- Filament drying: ~55 °C for 6–8 hours, store in dry conditions (<20 % RH), especially for long print jobs
Silk PLA generally looks better at a more conservative volumetric speed – if you prefer maximum aesthetics, it is advisable to reduce the maximum flow rate compared to standard PLA.
Key Material Properties
- Material: PLA (Polylactic Acid), modified for silk/glossy effect
- Appearance: very glossy, silky, metallic silver
- Filament diameter: 1.75 mm
- Net filament weight: 1 kg
- Packaging type: Refill (without fixed plastic spool)
- Compatibility: all common FDM/FFF printers with 1.75 mm diameter, including Bambu Lab X1, P1, A1 (with and without AMS)
Mechanical and thermal properties correspond to typical PLA Silk from Bambu Lab – the material is suitable for visually attractive parts that are not exposed to high mechanical or thermal stress (e.g., in a car in direct sunlight).
Advantages of the Refill System
By using the refill variant, you get:
- Less plastic waste – you use one reusable spool repeatedly
- Easier storage – refill packaging takes up less space
- Faster color changes in AMS – simply rewind / snap the refill onto the Bambu Reusable Spool
The refill is fully compatible with the standard Bambu Lab Reusable Spool or with your own 3D printed spool of matching dimensions.
