Printing Tips

1. Drying & Storage

• Pre-Dry: For best results, it is recommended to dry the filament at 55°C for 6 hours before use.
• Re-Dry: After prolonged air exposure, recommend re-drying the filament before starting a print.
• Storage: It's best to keep the filament in a sealed container with desiccant to prevent moisture buildup.

2. Getting the Best Shine

The glossiness of Silk PLA depends on temperature and speed. For a shinier finish, print slower or use a higher temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is a Top Cover required for Silk PLA?

No, it is not required.

2. Is a Hardened Steel Hot End required for Silk PLA?

No, it is not required.

3. Do I need to dry Silk PLA before printing or keep it continuously dried?

It is recommended to dry Silk PLA before printing, and it is also advisable to keep it continuously dried during printing and storage to ensure stable print quality and avoid issues such as stringing, bubbling, or poor layer adhesion.

For best results, it is recommended to use a filament dryer such as the SnapDryer during both pre-print drying and continuous printing.

5. How can I reduce stringing?

To reduce stringing, you can optimize printing conditions in the following parameters:
• Lower the printing temperature (key adjustment to reduce oozing)
• Dry the filament thoroughly and ensure it remains moisture-free during use, as moisture is a major cause of stringing
• Slightly increase the retraction distance to better control filament flow during travel moves
