Transition "Mystery" Color PLA+Silk has a glossy, silk-sheen finish. It's very easy to print and has generally good mechanical properties. Use it for showpieces and decorative models.
Like all COEX 3D PLA+Silk, it's made from virgin NatureWorks Ingeo resin with colorant and our own additive.
The color change on each spool is very gradual and varies from spool to spool. This is not a rainbow filament.
Recommended print settings
- Hotend: 220–240°C. That may be hotter than you're used to for PLA+Silk, because our 100% virgin resin needs slightly higher printing temperatures.
- Bed: 0–60°C. A heated bed is recommended but not required.
- Part cooling fan recommended, up to 100%
- Build surfaces and adhesives: glass, PEI, WELD3D Bed Adhesion Spray, painter's tape or glue stick.
- PLA+Silk absorbs moisture from the air. If it under-extrudes, strings or pops at the hotend after exposure to humidity, dry it at 55°C for at least 3 hours.
