Anycubic PLA Silk Filament – Silver (1.75mm, 1kg)
Lustrous silk finish | Metallic silver sheen | Less brittle, fewer snaps when feeding | ACE compatible | Standard PLA printing
Prints with a beautiful silky shine. Anycubic PLA Silk gives prints a smooth, glossy, silk-like sheen straight off the bed, with no polishing or painting needed. It’s ideal for display pieces, artwork, vases, figurines and fan creations where the finish is the star.
Metallic silver shine. A sleek silver with a lustrous silk sheen makes prints look like polished metal. It’s perfect for trophies, armour and cosplay props, sci-fi and robot models, jewellery displays and ornaments.
Less snapping, smoother feeding. It’s formulated to be less brittle than typical silk PLA, so it’s less likely to snap in the feed path. That makes it a good match for multicolour systems like the Anycubic ACE.
Smart spool. On compatible Anycubic printers, spool identification sets the print settings for you automatically. The spool is reusable, with a locking system to help prevent tangles.

Tips for best results
-
Slow down for the best shine. Silk PLA looks glossiest at moderate speeds. Try 50–150mm/s on outer walls instead of maxing out.
- Dry the spool at 55–65°C for 6–8 hours if it’s been open for a while.
- Silk PLA is made for looks. For parts that need to take load, use PLA High Speed, PETG or PETG-CF.
- PLA softens at around 53°C, so keep prints out of hot cars and direct sun.
