Anycubic PLA Silk Dual Filament – Red/Blue (1.75mm, 1kg)
Two colours in one strand | Shifts between red and blue as you move around it | Lustrous silk finish | No colour changes or extra hardware needed | ACE compatible
Two colours, one spool, zero effort. Anycubic PLA Silk Dual combines red and blue side by side in a single strand of silk PLA. As you walk around a print, it shows red from one angle and blue from another, with a glossy silk sheen throughout. You get a striking two-tone effect from any ordinary single-nozzle printer, with no multi-extruder setup needed.
Bold, high-contrast look. The punchy red and deep blue pairing really pops. It’s ideal for superhero and comic figures, gaming and esports décor, cosplay props, sports-team colours, vases and gifts. Each print looks different depending on where you stand.
Silky shine straight off the bed. The silk finish gives a premium, almost metallic sheen, with no painting or post-processing needed.
Tune the shine. Print hotter or slower for a high-gloss finish, or cooler and faster for a softer lustre.
Easy to print. It works on any 1.75mm FDM printer with a 0.4mm or larger nozzle. On compatible Anycubic printers, spool identification sets the print settings for you automatically.

Tips for best results
-
Print in vase mode or with a single outer wall for the strongest two-colour effect.
- Rounded models such as vases, figures and spheres show off the colour shift best.
- Print hotter or slower for more gloss, and cooler or faster for a softer sheen.
- Dry the spool at 55–65°C for 6–8 hours if it’s been open for a while.
- PLA softens at around 53°C, so keep prints out of hot cars and direct sun.
