Panchroma™ Dual Silk PLA 1.75mm 3D Printer Filament

Panchroma™ Dual Silk PLA is a premium dual-color silk PLA filament designed to create striking color transitions and a smooth, glossy finish. Each spool combines two complementary silk colors, producing a dynamic visual effect that changes depending on the model's geometry, orientation, and lighting.

The new and improved formula addresses common problems found with traditional silk PLA, including brittleness, clogging, stringing, and loss of shine at higher speeds. Improved layer adhesion provides stronger prints while maintaining the smooth, high-gloss appearance that makes silk filament popular for decorative models.

Panchroma™ Dual Silk PLA maintains its rich silk effect at speeds up to 150 mm/s and can be printed at speeds up to 250 mm/s. It works with standard PLA settings on most FDM 3D printers and does not require an enclosure or specialized hardware.

Formerly known as PolyLite™ Dual Silk PLA, Panchroma™ Dual Silk PLA is an excellent choice for decorative models, cosplay props, sculptures, miniatures, flexi toys, and other visually focused prints.
