IIID Max - High Speed PLA+ Tri-Color Silk Filament 1.75mm 1kg

IIID Max Tri-Color Silk PLA+ — Three Metallic Colors in One Spool

The IIID Max Tri-Color Silk PLA+ Filament 1.75mm blends three vibrant metallic silk colors — Blue, Yellow, and Fuchsia — in a single spool that creates stunning, unpredictable color transitions as it prints. Each layer shifts between the three tones, producing a unique metallic gradient effect that makes every print one-of-a-kind. High speed compatible up to 300mm/s, vacuum-sealed with desiccant, 1kg spool.

Tri-color silk filament is the fastest way to create visually complex prints without a multi-material setup. No AMS, no filament changes, no post-processing — just load the spool and let the color transitions happen naturally. The result is a dynamic, iridescent surface that catches light differently from every angle.

How Does Tri-Color Silk Work?

The filament is manufactured with three distinct silk-finish colors blended in sequence along the length of the spool. As your printer extrudes the filament, the colors transition gradually from one to the next, creating smooth gradients across your print. The exact pattern depends on your model's geometry, layer height, and print speed — so even printing the same model twice will produce slightly different results. This randomness is part of the appeal.

Print Tips

Print at 215-225°C for the most vivid silk sheen. Taller models show more color transitions since the colors shift along the spool length. If you want wider color bands, increase layer height to 0.28mm. For tighter, more blended transitions, use 0.12-0.16mm layers. Reduce fan to 50-70% for enhanced glossiness.
