Are you in Australia and looking to purchase a Three - Tone / Triple Silk 3 - Color Silk Filament? Phaser3D Triple Colour is like 'matterHackers Quantum PLA', but with 3 colors instead of 2. It's the top choice for creating eye - catching, visually amazing 3D prints. The filament is divided into two colors that will show on your final print. By changing the part's orientation, you can change the visible color. Silk PLAs usually make shiny and somewhat translucent prints, looking and feeling like they're covered in silk. You don't need to paint these prints as their natural look is very impressive. Usually,'silk' filaments are enhanced PLA filaments, getting their glossy finish from additives. They have similar pros and cons to PLA filaments. For this filament, we'll mainly focus on PLA - based ones. Remember, print temperatures and speeds are just guidelines, and exact settings vary for each machine. We suggest printing a temperature tower and doing stringing tests to find the best settings for you. Tips for the best prints with Triple PLA Filament: Smaller melt zones are better. Volcano - style hotends can cause mixing that reduces the visual effect. E3D v6, Mosquito, and most stock printer hotends are great. Before a big print, print an alignment coin to find the color - change line on your specific printer and filament setup. The angle varies for each setup, but if the printer and filament stay in the same orientation, the alignment stays the same between spools. Quantum prints look best when the outside perimeters of the part are printed in the same direction, and many slicers don't do this by default. Specifications: Spool Net Weight: 1kg, Diameter: 1.75mm ± 0.05mm, Print Temperature: 190 - 220°C, Hot Bed Temperature: 0 - 50°C, Print Speed: 20 - 50mm/s.

Using this Phaser3D Triple 3 - Color Silk PLA Filament is easy. First, make sure you know the specifications. The spool weighs 1kg and the filament diameter is 1.75mm plus or minus 0.05mm. You should print at a temperature between 190 and 220°C and keep the hot bed at 0 to 50°C. The print speed should be 20 to 50mm/s. But remember, these are just guidelines, so do a temperature tower and stringing tests to find the best settings for your machine. For better prints, use a hotend with a smaller melt zone like E3D v6 or Mosquito. Volcano - style hotends can mess up the visual effect. Before starting a big print, print an alignment coin. This will tell you where the color - change line is on your printer and filament setup. Once you've found it, as long as you keep the printer and filament in the same orientation, you can use different spools without changing the alignment. Also, try to make sure the outside perimeters of your part are printed in the same direction. This will make your Quantum prints look their best. And don't worry about painting your prints, the natural look of this silk - like filament is really cool.
