Silky shine and durability in one

Bambu Lab PLA Silk+ combines a pronounced, almost metallic shine with improved strength and interlayer adhesion. The Candy Green shade was designed to stand out on decorative and gift items while printing just as easily as standard PLA.

Why you’ll choose it

• Silky/glossy surface for a luxurious look without additional polishing.
• Improved interlayer adhesion – smooth walls without compromising strength.
• RFID profile for Bambu AMS/AMS lite: automatic parameter loading, no manual tuning.
• Supplied on a reusable Basic Reusable Spool – less plastic waste.
• Broad compatibility with Bambu Lab build plates and nozzles.

Recommended uses

• Decorations, gifts, Christmas and seasonal ornaments.
• Figurines, logos, lettering, and promotional items.
• Enclosures and parts where appearance and smooth walls are key.

Tips for best results

• For maximum gloss, reduce outer wall speed to about 50 mm/s.
• Print “hot & slow” compared to regular PLA: stay within the recommended temperature range and avoid excessive retractions.
• Keep filament dry: dry before use (55 °C / 8 h) and store below 20% RH.

Compatibility

• AMS and AMS lite (RFID for automatic setup).
• Recommended build plates: Cool Plate SuperTack, Smooth PEI, Textured PEI.
• Recommended nozzles: stainless 0.2/0.4 mm, hardened steel 0.4 mm; not recommended: hardened 0.6/0.8 mm.

Note: Silk PLA generally requires a lower outer wall speed for uniform gloss. For consistent appearance, maintain stable speeds and flow even in corners and fine details.

Key features:

• Premium silky/glossy appearance for luxury models and decorations.
• Enhanced interlayer adhesion for stronger parts than typical “silk” PLAs.
• RFID profile – automatic parameter loading in Bambu AMS/AMS lite.
• Easy printing at low bed temperatures, minimal warping.
• Tip for maximum gloss: outer wall around 50 mm/s.
• Supplied on a Basic Reusable Spool – reusable spool.
• Wide compatibility with Bambu build plates and 0.2–0.4 mm nozzles.
• Ideal for gifts, ornaments, figurines, logos, and design prototypes.
