LANDU Silk Dual Color is a co-extruded filament that combines two separate colours in one filament. This creates a striking colour change depending on the viewing angle, with a high-gloss, metallic-looking surface that hides layer lines well.
Product description
- Diameter: 1.75 mm with high dimensional accuracy (tolerance not specified)
- Weight: Standard 1 kg spool
- Material: Silk PLA (Polylactic Acid) blended with additives that give a smooth, satin-like gloss finish
Recommended print settings
For a clear dual-colour effect and maximum “silk” gloss:
| Setting | Recommended value |
|---|---|
| Nozzle temperature | 200–220°C (higher temperature increases gloss) |
| Bed temperature | 50–60°C |
| Print speed | 30–60 mm/s (slower speed improves surface quality) |
| Retraction | ~1 mm (Direct Drive) / 4–6 mm (Bowden) |
Performance & usage tips
Appearance: Users praise the “colour blend”, which is particularly well suited to decorations, artworks and festive prints.
Durability: Like most Silk PLA, the material is designed with appearance in mind rather than strength. It has weaker layer adhesion and is more brittle than regular PLA, so it is not suitable for load-bearing parts.
Packaging: Comes on a plastic spool
Model orientation: To maximise the dual-colour effect, rotate the model so that the colour transition falls on the sides you want to emphasise. Avoid a random “Seam” placement to keep the colour change clean.
