Anycubic PLA Silk Dual Filament Black/Red Overview

The Anycubic PLA Silk Dual Filament in Black and Red is engineered for creators who demand visual impact without the hassle of post-processing. This 1kg spool blends two distinct colours into a single strand, delivering a seamless gradient that shifts beautifully as the model rotates. The result is a premium finish with a rich, almost metallic sheen that captures light from every angle.

One of the standout qualities of this filament is its versatility in achieving different surface finishes. Users can easily control the level of gloss by adjusting their printer settings; running at higher temperatures or slower speeds creates a fluid, high-gloss silk effect, while cooler and faster settings produce a softer, more subtle lustre. Designed to work with any standard 1.75 mm FDM printer, it is an excellent choice for decorative parts, fan art, and artistic models where aesthetics are paramount.

Description

This product combines the structural reliability of PLA with a stunning dual-colour silk aesthetic. The Anycubic PLA Silk Dual Filament (Part Number AHSC17-10) allows users to print complex colour gradients in a single run, eliminating the need for manual painting or multi-material setups on standard printers. It is fully compatible with intelligent systems like the Anycubic ACE Pro for automatic parameter recognition and supports reusable spools for sustainability.

Key benefits include:

• Dual-colour silk PLA combines Black (#212721 ) and Red (#D22630 ) in a single strand for eye-catching gradient prints
• Silk-like surface luster shifts across the colour spectrum as the model is rotated, adding depth and a premium finish
• Controllable gloss - adjust nozzle temperature and print speed to dial in high-gloss or softer lustre results
• Compatible with all 1.75 mm FDM printers; no specialist hardware required
• Supports intelligent identification when used with compatible Anycubic ACE Pro systems for automatic print-parameter recognition
• Certified to RoHS, REACH, and SDS standards
• Recommended for decorative parts, fandom models, and artistic prints

Features

Printing Guidelines and Technical Data
To achieve the best results with this filament, it is recommended to dry the spool before use. Place the spool in a dryer at 55-65 degrees Celsius for 6 to 8 hours to ensure clean and consistent extrusion. The filament performs optimally within a nozzle temperature range of 210 to 240 degrees Celsius, with a heated bed set between 55 and 56 degrees Celsius. For the smoothest flow, use a nozzle size of 0.4 mm or larger.

The printing speed can be adjusted widely from 50 to 250 mm/s depending on the desired effect and model complexity. The maximum volume speed for this material is 8 cubic millimeters per second. Below are the specific physical properties that define its performance:

• Density: 1.22 g/cm

FAQ

What are the specific colors in this filament and how do they appear?
This Anycubic PLA Silk Dual Filament combines Black (#212721 ) and Red (#D22630 ) strands into a single spool, creating a seamless gradient that shifts to reveal a premium, silk-like luster as the model rotates.

Is this filament compatible with my standard 1.75 mm FDM printer?
Yes, it is designed for use on all standard 1.75 mm FDM printers without requiring specialist hardware or modifications to your machine.

How can I adjust the surface finish of my prints?
You can control the gloss level by adjusting your printer settings; higher nozzle temperatures and slower speeds will create a high-gloss, silky surface, while cooler and faster settings yield a softer lustre.

What are the recommended printing temperatures for this filament?
The ideal printing temperature range is 210-240 degrees C with a heated bed set to 55-56 degrees C. It also supports a flow rate of up to 8 mm /s and works best at speeds between 50-250 mm/s.

Do I need to dry the filament before printing?
Drying is recommended to ensure clean extrusion; you should dry the spool at 55-65 degrees C for 6-8 hours prior to use. If you own an Anycubic ACE Pro system, this filament also supports intelligent identification for automatic parameter recognition.
