Panchroma™ Silk PLA is Polymakers new UPDATED silk formula, developed to solve the speed, brittleness and clogging limitations of generic Silk PLA while keeping a shiny, smooth finish. Prints faster and cleaner; up to 250mm/s with reliable results every time; ideal for 3D printing at any experience level.

Features

Shiny Gloss Finish, even at High Speeds

Maintains rich, silky shine even at 150mm/s, solving the dulling issue common with high speed silk PLA prints; excellent for fast, high-detail projects where visuals matter—get gloss and speed without needing to compromise.

Silk PLA+ Performance without added cost

Built for stronger layer bonding and higher impact strength, this innovative silk formula gives your prints extra durability compared to PolyLite Silk PLA (previous formula) without sacrificing surface finish or additional cost. Great for flexi dragons, cosplay props, and home décor—no advanced settings needed, just smoother, tougher results from start to finish. Panchroma Silk PLA is effectively a Silk PLA+

Print Farm Ready = Rapid Printing

Print confidently at speeds up to 250mm/s while keeping excellent surface detail; great for high-output print farms or weekend warriors looking for reliable, good-looking multi color parts done in record time. Though it is worth noting that the gloss effect at 250mm/s will be different to at 150mm/s.

Recycleable AMS Compatible Spools

Panchroma Silk PLA filaments are all manufactured with a sealed cardboard edge, to deliver an environmentally friendly spool that is AMS compatible.

Compatible with your favourite 3D printers

Panchroma Silk PLA prints easily on most FDM 3D printers without requiring special hardware. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned maker, it delivers reliable adhesion and clean finishes at standard settings—right out of the box. While generic silk PLA often clogs, snaps, or dulls at high speeds, our formula resists all three. Enjoy faster prints with a shiny finish, reliable feeding, and greater durability—backed by strict QA for consistency in every spool.

Printing Settings

• Nozzle Temperature: 190°C - 230°C
• Build Plate Temperature: 25°C - 60°C
• Build Surface Material: Works well with most build surfaces i.e Glass, Blue Tape, BuildTak® 
• Build Surface Treatment: Can apply Magigoo Original or PVA glue to the build surface to improve adhesion.
• Cooling Fan: ON
• Printing Speed: Up to 250mm/s*
• Recommended Support Material: 
  • Single Extrusion: Self Support
  • Dual Extrusion: PolyDissolve™ S1 or PolySupport™

The above are printing recommendations based on 0.4 mm nozzle. Please note ideal printing conditions may vary depending on your 3D printer setup. For high speed 3D printers, make sure to increase your extrusion temperature in order to use higher printing speeds.

*The maximum speed is based on extrusion capability, not what speed the filament is glossy until. This formula offers significant advantage in gloss finish at high speed, though the speed at which gloss will decrease will vary depending on your layer height, 3D printer, nozzle type and chosen nozzle temperature.

Compatibility

Panchroma™ Silk PLA has been engineered with compatibility in mind to print excellently on a wide range of 3D printers.

Of course with thousands of unique 3d printer models on the market, we can't guarantee each filament type will work with every 3D printer. Slicer experience and setting adjustment is always required to get the most out of a material. Before jumping into an ambitious project we always recommend printing some known calibration tests to build or make adjustments to the filament profile.
