Create Stunning 3D Prints with Lipstick Pink PLA+Silk Filament
PLA+Silk gives a glossy shine to anything you print with it. It looks great, is extremely easy to print with, and has generally good mechanical properties. It's perfect for showpieces and decorative models.
Coex 3D PLA+Silk is made with Virgin NatureWorks USA Ingeo resin, a high-quality colorant, and our secretive additive. All of Coex's filament is made in our production facility located in Wisconsin, USA. Coex 3D uses industrial-grade extruders and laser measuring quality control to ensure quality, consistency, and a 1.75±0.03mm diameter specification with every spool. We provide filament that gives excellent-looking and strong prints.
Coex 3D recommends the following print settings when printing with our PLA. Settings will vary depending on your specific printing setup.
Hotend Temperature: 215 °C - 235 °C
Important! This temperature range may seem hotter than you're used to for other PLA+Silk filaments. Using 100% virgin resin causes our PLA+Silk to require slightly higher printing temperatures.
Heated Bed Temperature: 40 °C - 60 °C
Note: A heated bed is not a strict requirement when printing PLA+Silk, but using one is recommended.
Cooling Fan: Recommended. Up to 100% fan speed is advisable when printing PLA+Silk.
Drying: PLA+Silk filament is hygroscopic and will absorb moisture from the air if not stored in a dry environment. If this happens, you may experience under-extrusion/inconsistent extrusion or excess stringing. You may also hear a "popping" sound coming from the hotend during printing. We recommend drying our PLA at 55 °C for at least 3 hours if it has been exposed to excess humidity.
Tolerance: At Coex 3D, we use multi axis laser measuring heads to ensure a tolerance of ±.03mm.
Quality: All Coex 3D printer filament is manufactured in our Green Bay, WI production facility. This allows us to ensure consistent quality for every spool through control of every aspect of the manufacturing process.
Packaging: Every spool of Coex 3D filament is thoroughly dried in our industrial dryer before being sealed. Spools are sealed with desiccant in a 4mil thick vacuum bag.
Tested: Coex 3D doesn't just sell filament, we use it on a daily basis. Our 50+ 3D printers are constantly running with our filament. We rely on our quality as much as our customers do.

Easy print, great luster
I printed several articulated figures with the silk filaments and have found them easy to print and with a fine luster that catches the light. I didn’t need to dry my filament but maybe I’m lucky. It prints great on my Bambu X1 Carbon with a spool ring adapter. I chose to create a custom filament based on the suggestions on the product page and had great results. Further, for best shine, I printed outer, top, and bottom layers at 40mm/s with the 0.4mm nozzle. It doesn’t add much to longer prints since I can leave inner and infill layers at the higher speeds.
I’ll be buying more filament when I run out of this stuff.

I am new to 3D printing and quickly used up the small starter roll supplied with my machine. The sild sample pack provided me several colors to experiment with and a good quantity of material to print with. I feel it was a good value and I have been getting great results with the silk and got the settings dialed in quickly. I have been printing Hot Wheels garages I designed for the grandkids, blue for the boys and pink for the girls and some generic black. Lots of fun!
Awesome Filament at a Bargain Price - Interesting Colors - Great for Prototypes or One-offs
I've been using COEX filament for many years and have visited their plant twice. Very friendly and welcoming. The quality has always been consistent and reliable. The Mystery PLA spools are a great bargain. Sometimes interesting colors, sometimes bland but useful for prototypes. Grab these especially when they are on sale - you will not be disappointed.
