Wanhao PLA Silk Blue 3D Printing Filament - 1.75 mm, 1 Kg Spool

Introduction

The Wanhao PLA Silk Blue 3D Printing Filament is designed to elevate your 3D printing experience with its unique properties and outstanding performance. This filament is not just another PLA; it’s an advanced silk-based PLA that ensures a flawless print finish. With 1 Kg of high-quality filament, you can take on a variety of projects with confidence.

Key Features

No Warping

Unlike many other filaments, the Wanhao PLA Silk Blue filament is less prone to warping. This ensures that your prints maintain their shape and adhere properly to the print bed, reducing the need for additional adhesives or modifications to your setup. Warping is a common issue in 3D printing, often leading to failed prints and frustration. This filament addresses that problem head-on, making it a reliable choice for both beginners and experienced users.

Superior Surface Detail

The filament excels in producing detailed prints with smooth surfaces. The silk texture gives your prints an unparalleled aesthetic appeal, almost like a professional-grade finish. This is particularly beneficial for printing decorative items, prototypes, and display models where surface quality matters.

Minimal Stringing and Sagging

One of the standout features of this filament is its ability to print with minimal stringing and sagging. These issues can ruin the appearance of your print and require additional post-processing. With Wanhao Silk PLA, you can expect clean prints straight off the printer, saving you time and effort.

Excellent Bed Adhesion

To ensure optimal bed adhesion, it is recommended not to use a cooling fan for the first several layers. This helps the filament adhere firmly to the bed, reducing the risk of warping and lifting. Consistent bed adhesion is crucial for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of your prints.

Print Stability

Wanhao Silk PLA is praised for its print stability. It is easier to work with compared to standard PLA, making it a suitable choice for a wide range of applications. Print stability means fewer failed prints and more successful projects, enhancing your overall 3D printing experience.

Outstanding Color Fastness

This filament boasts excellent color fastness, ensuring that the color of your prints remains vibrant and true to the filament. This is particularly important for projects where the appearance and color accuracy are critical.
