Anycubic PLA Silk Tri-Colour Filament – Blue/Green/Purple (1.75mm, 1kg)
Three colours in one strand | Shifts between blue, green and purple as you move around it | Lustrous silk finish | No colour changes or extra hardware needed | ACE compatible
Three colours, one spool, zero effort. Anycubic PLA Silk Tri-Colour runs blue, green and purple side by side in a single strand of silk PLA. As you walk around a print, you’ll see blue, green or purple depending on the angle, with a glossy silk sheen throughout. You get a rich multicolour effect from any ordinary single-nozzle printer.
Cool, jewel-toned colour. Blue, green and purple blend into a deep, mystical mix like peacock feathers, a galaxy or a beetle’s shell. It’s ideal for dragons, mermaids and fantasy creatures, crystals and gems, vases, and space-themed décor. Each print looks different from every side.
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 satin lustre.
Easy to print. It works on any 1.75mm FDM printer with a 0.4mm or larger nozzle, with no multicolour system needed. It’s bend-tested to resist snapping in the feed path, and 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 three-colour effect.
- Rounded models such as vases, dragons and figures 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.
