Panchroma™ Dual Silk PLA

Panchroma™ Dual Silk is a high-quality, dual-color PLA with carefully chosen, smoothly transitioning colors for a stunning, shiny finish and reliable, easy printing.

New And Improved Silk Formula! Our new dual silk formula solves brittleness and clogging while keeping a shiny, smooth finish. Prints faster and cleaner; up to 250mm/s with reliable results every time; ideal for 3D printing at any experience level.

Improved Layer Adhesion Built for stronger layer bonding, this filament gives your prints extra durability without sacrificing surface finish. Great for flexi toys, cosplay props, and home décor - no advanced settings needed, just smoother, tougher results from start to finish.

Shiny at High Speeds Maintains rich, silky shine even at 150mm/s, solving the dulling issue common with high speed dual silk PLA prints; excellent for fast, high-detail projects where visuals matter - get gloss and speed without needing to compromise.

Easy To Print Panchroma Dual Silk prints easily on most FDM 3D printers without requiring special hardware. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned maker, it delivers reliable adhesion and clean finishes at standard settings - right out of the box.

High Speed Printing Print confidently at speeds up to 250mm/s while keeping excellent surface detail; great for high-output print farms or weekend warriors looking for reliable, good-looking multi color parts done in record time.

Polymaker vs Generic Brands While generic dual silk PLA often clogs, snaps, or dulls at high speeds, our formula resists all three. Enjoy faster prints with a shiny finish, reliable feeding, and greater durability - backed by strict QA for consistency in every spool.

Printing Tips

All Panchroma effects and colors, with the exception of Luminous, Glow, and CoPE will have no special requirements. You can print them on any printer in any setup.

These materials are standard PLA options and can print with standard PLA settings.
Silk and other very glossy options should be printed at a slower print speed so that the shine can be maintained. If you print these materials too fast, they will look more "matte".
Do not print glitter/sparkle effect materials with smaller than a 0.4mm nozzle.
Leave the cooling fan on at full blast for best surface quality.

FAQ

What is The New And Improved Dual Silk Formula?

Panchroma Dual Silk PLA is an upgraded dual silk 3D printing filament designed for vibrant visuals, smoother prints, and high-speed performance. It solves common silk PLA issues like brittleness, clogging, and loss of shine at higher speeds.

What is the difference between the old formula and the new one?

The new formula prints faster, clogs less, and has better layer adhesion—while keeping a smoother, glossier finish even at high speeds.

Can I print fast without losing the silk finish?

Yes! Our new formula maintains its high-gloss silk effect even at speeds up to 150mm/s

What makes Panchroma Dual Silk PLA better than other silk filaments?

Compared to generic brands, Panchroma Dual Silk PLA resists clogs, snapping, and stringing. It also offers better layer adhesion and supports high-speed printing.

Is it beginner-friendly?

Absolutely. Panchroma Dual Silk PLA works with most FDM 3D printers and prints beautifully using standard PLA settings. No special hardware or advanced tuning is needed.

What types of projects is this filament best suited for?

This filament is perfect for home décor, cosplay props, flexi toys, sculptures, miniatures, and gifts.

Does it work with AMS or multi-color systems?

Yes, Panchroma Dual Silk PLA is compatible with AMS and other multi-material systems.

Is this material food safe?

Unfortunately we do not have any data whether this material is food safe. As of now, no 3D printing material on the market is FDA food safe compliant. This is because in order to be certified as food safe, the actual object needs to be certified and not the base material. The shape, bed used, environment the object was made, and much more goes into getting a food safety certificate. As of now there is no real certification that the FDA offers for 3D printing.

What is Panchroma™?

Panchroma™ is a new family of engineered polymer compounds containing PLA. The formulations are fine tuned for each color/surface finish to offer the best aesthetic quality and printability. They can be reliably printed on any FFF/FDM 3D printer under typical PLA settings. All Panchroma™ products are PLA except for those listed under "experimental".

Is this filament compatible with my 3D printer?

Yes. Panchroma Dual Silk PLA is designed to work with most FDM 3D printers. It prints reliably on both entry-level and advanced machines—no special upgrades, enclosures, or modifications are needed.

Can I use it for moving parts or functional prints?

Dual Silk PLA is designed for aesthetics. While Panchroma has better adhesion than most dual silks, it’s not meant for high-load or mechanical parts. Use it for display models, props, and low-wear designs.

How many colors are available?

Panchroma Dual Silk comes in 9 stunning colors.

Is the packaging eco-friendly?

Yes. Each spool is packaged using recyclable materials and vacuum-sealed for protection against moisture.

Printing Requirements

None! This will print great on any stock 3D printer!

You will just want to print slower on stock, older style printers.
