Nebula PLA Silk Citron Yellow 1 kg

Nebula PLA Silk is a premium PLA filament with a special finish that creates a silk-gloss to satin surface. In the Citron Yellow shade, you get a very distinct, clean, and vibrant yellow that stands out perfectly on models – ideal for decorations, design elements, and representative prototypes.

PLA Silk Nebula combines the excellent printability of classic PLA with the attractive luster of silk filaments. The material has low volumetric shrinkage, does not require an enclosed chamber, and prints well on most FDM 3D printers.

Main advantages of Nebula PLA Silk

• Silk-gloss surface – satin effect that suppresses layer visibility
• Very easy printing – suitable for beginners and advanced users
• Low shrinkage – lower risk of warping and deformation
• High-quality prints even at higher printing speeds
• Biodegradable PLA material from renewable sources
• Does not require an enclosed chamber – a standard open FDM printer is sufficient

Recommended use

Nebula PLA Silk Citron Yellow is ideal for:

• Decorations, sculptures, and figurines with an emphasis on appearance
• Design and promotional items, logos, signs
• Visual prototypes and presentation models
• Gifts and souvenirs – models that should look luxurious at first glance
• Mechanically low-stressed parts up to approx. 60 °C

Not recommended for:

• Heavily mechanically stressed components
• Applications with higher thermal loads above approx. 60 °C
• Components intended for long-term outdoor use in the sun (UV radiation can degrade the material over time)

Printing recommendations

• Material: PLA Silk (Nebula)
• Filament diameter: 1,75 mm
• Recommended nozzle temperature: approx. 210–230 °C
• Recommended bed temperature: approx. 40–60 °C
• Print bed: glass, PEI, textured sheet, with a suitable adhesive agent according to the surface
• Enclosed chamber: not required

For silk filaments in general, we recommend:

• Lower the printing speed compared to regular PLA if you want maximum surface quality
• Pay attention to cooling – use effective part cooling for sharp details and gloss, but avoid extremely strong airflow on tiny parts

Specific optimal settings may vary slightly depending on the printer type, nozzle, and slicer profile.

Properties and advantages of PLA material

PLA (polylactic acid) is the most used material for FDM 3D printing:

• Very easy setup and printing even for beginners
• Low shrinkage – better dimensional accuracy, lower risk of deformation
• Made from renewable sources (e.g., corn/potato starch)
• Biodegradable under suitable conditions

Compared to ABS or PETG, PLA is less suitable for technically demanding parts, but significantly better for visually attractive models where appearance and detail are key.

Packaging and storage

Nebula PLA Silk filament is typically supplied:

• On a spool with a net filament weight of 1 kg
• In a sealed (vacuumed) package often with silica gel for moisture absorption

To maintain peak printing quality, we recommend:

• Storing in a dry place, ideally in a resealable box or container with desiccant
• Protecting from direct sunlight and high temperatures
