Product details

When taking a good look at 3D printing as a whole, it’s always great to see how there are so many different kinds of 3D Makers, with some who like to focus purely on decorational and aesthetic prints, others who prefer to focus purely on functional prints, and of course many more who like to blend aesthetics with functionality and enjoy the best of both worlds. If you enjoy experimenting with new polymers and colours in your 3D printing adventures, but aren’t eager to learn a whole new set of printing specifications for different types of plastic, SunLu Silky PLA+ Filament is designed with the easy-printing base polymer of PLA, and enhanced with polyester-like additives for a silky smooth finish.

This SunLu Dual-Colour Silky PLA+ Filament takes a new spin on their silky range by combining two colours into one roll of filament! This spool is red and blue in a pretty impressive mashup, taking a whole new approach to how colours get combined into one roll. Instead of simply fusing together interchanging strings of colour like many rainbow filaments, these Dual-Colour Silky PLA+ Filaments feed both colours at once, split half and half into one stream of filament. The result is a stunning two colour finish and curious visual affect. Prints with the SunLu Dual-Colour Silky PLA+ Filament have an interesting sheen that seems to change colours based on how light falls onto it and the angle you look at it. Although we offer an entire range of Silky Filaments, this Dual-Colour Red-Blue Silky PLA+ Filament results in absolutely beautiful models, accessories and art pieces.

ADVANTAGES OF SUNLU SILKY PLA+ FILAMENT

SunLu Silky PLA+ Filament, in a similar fashion to standard PLA filaments, is a relatively easy filament to print with, ensuring that you don’t have to be an advanced 3D Maker to take advantage of the awesome traits that it offers. It is polymerised from the same basic materials as standard PLA, but has been enhanced with some polyester-like additives so as to give it a sheen like no other filament can offer. Furthermore, an additional benefit of these additives is that they also help to smoothen out the surfaces of prints, helping to hide layer lines and create an almost soft tactile feel as well. This is ideal for printing pretty much anything, but really shows its true benefits when printing toys and décor, as the surface gets a nice vibrant shine to it, standing out from normal prints and catching the attention of all onlookers – but without any post-processing required to get it this way. So if you love the easy printing style and bright colours of PLA, but are looking to step up your game with a truly unique style, it’s definitely time that you step up your game and start using awesome Silky Filaments like SunLu Silky PLA.

Of course, as with any other filament brand, we encourage you to test out SunLu Silky PLA Filament for yourself, and if you enjoy the colours, print quality and easy printing style of it, then take the next leap and test out other materials from the SunLu filament range. So far, we’ve enjoyed each and every variant that we have in stock, and we’re quite certain that you’re going to fall in love with SunLu just like we did when first sinking our teeth into their range of materials and colours.

TOUGH YET FLEXIBLE

 

FIL X SBS

 

Did you know that you are in daily contact with SBS products such as the soles of your shoes or the tyres of your car? But how can SBS be used in FDM 3D printing?

 

SBS (Styrene-butadiene-styrene) has the unique properties of being both tough and flexible at the same time, thanks to its Polystyrene origin lending it a hard, tough consistency and the Polybutadiene giving it a bit more bounce with its rubbery properties.

This powerhouse combination offers, apart from good layer adhesion, no odour during printing and does not absorb moisture. Furthermore, it has been FDA and EU directive approved for food contact.

 

Fil X SBS filament is very easy to print with on a glass bed with some hairspray for better bed adhesion and best of all can be smoothed with d-limonene (also available from Fil X!) leaving you with a stunning finished product.

PETG is short for polyethylene terephthalate glycol-modified, and is a transparent type of Copolyester.   PETG is the perfect filament to combine strength and ductility, which is why it's used in so many mechanical parts and robotics.   It has great chemical resistance with good water, acidic and alkalic resistance. PETG in its raw form is also FDA and EU commission regulation approved as Food Contact Safe. ​

PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a biodegradable (under the correct conditions) thermoplastic derived from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugarcane. It is one of the most popular bioplastics, used for many applications ranging from plastic cups to medical implants. PLA in its raw form is also FDA and EU commission regulation approved as Food Contact Safe.

THE PLANET’S FRIENDLIEST 3D FILAMENT   FIL X PLA   Fil X PLA is the flagship product of Fil X taking the 3D printing market by storm! Through thorough testing and hours of diligence, Fil X is proud to present its 100% biodegradable PLA.   PLA (Polylactic Acid) is the holy grail of polymers as it is made from organic components such as sugar cane or maize, therefore making it incredibly environmentally friendly. However, the product is quite tricky to manufacture, so many companies add process additives to the product mix making it easier to extrude, thereby ruining the biodegradability of the product.   Often, when printing with contaminated PLA, there will be an odour as a result of the polymer additives in the product. Pure PLA is practically odourless.   Fil X is proud to bring their PLA filament to the market. Without any additives such as masterbatch or stabilizers to compromise the compostable properties of PLA, Fil X has developed a pure and clean PLA filament that is absolutely environmentally friendly and a pleasure to print with.
