eSUN PLA-Silk Red 3D Printing Filament 1.75mm 1kg

eSUN PLA-Silk Red is a glossy PLA-based 3D printing filament for FDM printers, designed to give decorative prints a smooth, silky surface with reduced visibility of layer lines. Supplied in a 1.75mm diameter and a 1kg net-weight spool, it combines the familiar printability of modified PLA with an attractive reflective red finish for artistic models and display pieces.

⭐ eSUN PLA-Silk combines a silky gloss, attractive appearance, easy printing, and a smooth surface finish, with easy support removal and a refined printed appearance.

Compatible with FDM 3D printers that support PLA, 1.75mm filament, and nozzle temperatures reaching 230°C, including suitable printers from:

✅ Bambu Lab ✅ Creality ✅ Prusa ✅ Anycubic ✅ ELEGOO ✅ Other Brand

🔹 Bambu Lab: AMS, AMS Lite, AMS 2 Pro, and AMS HT support suitable PLA materials subject to each system's restrictions. Check spool dimensions and third-party filament settings; compatibility with this specific eSUN series is not automatically established.

🔹 Creality: CFS and CFS Lite support PLA, subject to compatible spool dimensions and the printer used.

🔹 Anycubic: Anycubic does not recommend non-official PLA Silk filaments, including third-party brands such as eSUN, inside ACE Pro or ACE 2 Pro.

🔹 Prusa: MMU3 supports PLA; verify spool feeding suitability and adjust the material profile accordingly.
