The next step after choosing a 3D printer is deciding which filament to use – and if you’re doing it for the first time, it can be quite overwhelming! With so many options to choose from, identifying the ideal filament can be a tricky process.
What kind of results does silk 3D printing filament produce?
From slightly translucent visuals to chrome metallic finishes, the end product will vary from brand to brand. However, all silk filaments share a few common attributes…
First of all, silk 3D printing filament solidifies into a strong yet flexible object once it cools. It works best with slightly elevated printing temperatures, for increased durability and longevity.
You’ll also find there’s no need to paint your finished object – your 3D print will most likely already have a very aesthetically pleasing finish, often resembling metal rather than plastic.
You could argue that painting on silk filament prints is like adding cola to a fancy scotch!
