Description
The Anycubic PLA Silk Dual Filament (Part Number AHSC13-10) transforms simple prints into eye-catching art pieces. Its unique dual-color construction blends red and blue hues to create dynamic gradients that shift as you view the object from different sides. Users can customize the surface finish by adjusting print settings, achieving a high-gloss look with higher temperatures or slower speeds, or a matte texture for a softer appearance. Certified safe and compatible with intelligent systems like Anycubic ACE Pro, this filament is the perfect choice for creating decorative items, fan art, and custom models that stand out.
Features
Key Benefits
This dual-colour PLA offers exceptional versatility for hobbyists and professionals alike. The filament produces a seamless gradient effect across printed surfaces in a single pass, saving time compared to manual painting or complex multi-material setups. Its silk-like luster deepens when the model is rotated, adding visual depth and a premium feel to every creation. You can fine-tune the finish by increasing nozzle temperature or reducing print speed for a higher-gloss surface, giving you direct control over the final look.

Technical Printing Data
To achieve the best results, this filament performs optimally within specific temperature ranges. We recommend printing at a nozzle temperature between 210 and 240 degrees Celsius with a heated bed set to 55-56 degrees Celsius. The material supports print speeds ranging from 50 to 250 mm/s, allowing for both rapid prototyping and detailed artistic work. For the smoothest flow, ensure your nozzle is at least 0.4 mm in size.
- Nozzle Size: Recommended 0.4 mm or above
- Printing Temperature: 210-240 C
- Heated Bed Temperature: 55-56 C
- Recommended Printing Speed: 50-250 mm/s
- Maximum Volume Speed (Flow Rate): 8 mm cubed per second
- Density: 1.22 g/cm cubed
- Melt Index: 9 +/- 1 g/10 min (190 C/2.16kg)
- Melting Point Temperature: 164 C
Beyond printing parameters, the material boasts impressive mechanical properties suitable for decorative and functional parts. It features a tensile strength of approximately 37 MPa with an elongation at break of 28%, ensuring durability during handling. The filament is also designed to be dried before use, ideally in conditions between 55-65 degrees Celsius for 6 to 8 hours, to maintain optimal print quality and prevent moisture-related defects.
- Young's Modulus: 2000 +/- 200 MPa
- Tensile Strength (Z): 12 +/- 4 MPa
- Elongation at Break: 28 +/- 5%
- Bending Modulus: 2400 +/- 160 MPa
- Bending Strength: 66 +/- 4 MPa
- Izod Impact Strength (X-Y): 20 +/- 2 kJ/m squared
- Heat Deflection Temperature (0.45MPa): 53 C
- Vicat Softening Temperature: 54 C
This product is part of the Anycubic aesthetic filament series, specifically engineered for creating decorative parts, fandom items, and artworks where appearance is the top priority. The intelligent identification system allows the ACE Pro to recognize the spool automatically, streamlining your workflow, while the reusable spool with a threaded locking system keeps your workspace tidy by reducing entanglement.

FAQ
What kind of visual effect does the Anycubic PLA Silk Dual Filament produce?
This filament features a dual-colour construction that creates a seamless gradient effect between Red and Blue in a single pass. It delivers a premium silk-like luster that shifts and deepens as you rotate the printed model, making it ideal for decorative parts and artwork where appearance is the priority.
Do I need special equipment to print with this filament?
No multi-extruder setup is required; it is compatible with all FDM printers that accept 1.75 mm filament. It also supports Anycubic ACE Pro intelligent identification for automatic recognition, though an internet connection is required for this feature.
What are the recommended printing settings and nozzle size?
The optimal nozzle temperature ranges from 210-240 degreesC with a heated bed set to 55-56 degreesC. You can print at speeds between 50-250 mm/s, though for higher gloss finishes, you should increase the temperature or reduce the speed. A nozzle size of 0.4 mm or above is recommended.
Is it necessary to dry the filament before use?
Drying out the filament before printing is highly recommended to ensure quality. The suggested drying condition is a temperature of 55-65 degreesC for 6-8 hours.
What are the physical characteristics and safety certifications of the spool?
The product comes in a reusable spool with a threaded locking system designed to reduce entanglement. Each roll weighs 1 kg and is certified to RoHS, REACH, and SDS standards for safety.
