3D printer filament eSun EPLA-SILK CANDY175UG1 1.75 mm Blue-Green 1 kg

eSun EPLA-SILK CANDY175UG1 1.75 mm Blue-Green is a 1 kg spool of PLA-Silk filament formulated for FDM/FFF 3D printers. The material produces glossy, silk-like surfaces with vivid blue-green coloration, combining the dimensional stability and ease of printing of PLA with a metallic-sheen finish suitable for decorative parts, display models and concept prototypes. The filament is supplied on a standard spool and is intended for printers that accept 1.75 mm filament and standard PLA settings.

Advantages

This PLA-Silk filament offers enhanced surface gloss and a smooth, reflective finish that reduces the appearance of layer lines without changing core printing behaviour typical for PLA-family materials. It has good dimensional accuracy and layer adhesion when printed with recommended temperature and cooling settings. The material is suitable for producing visually appealing parts without requiring specialized equipment beyond standard desktop FDM printers.

Suitable for

• Decorative objects and display pieces
• Concept models and presentation prototypes
• Cosmetic covers and non-functional housings
• Miniatures, figurines and artistic prints

Key specifications

• Material type: PLA-Silk (silk-finish blend)
• Filament diameter: 1.75 mm
• Spool weight: 1 kg net filament
• Colour/finish: Blue-green candy, glossy silk-like surface
• Tolerance: typical commercial tolerance for 1.75 mm filament
• Compatibility: FDM/FFF printers that accept 1.75 mm PLA-family filaments

How to use

Load the 1.75 mm filament into a compatible FDM/FFF printer and set printing parameters according to PLA-family recommendations. Typical extrusion temperature ranges and print speed will depend on your specific printer and hotend; begin with manufacturer-recommended PLA temperatures and adjust in small increments to optimize surface finish and extrusion consistency. Ensure the print bed is level and use an appropriate bed adhesion method for PLA. If filament has absorbed moisture, dry it before printing following standard filament-drying procedures to avoid print defects caused by moisture.

Usage recommendations

For best results, print with moderate layer heights (e.g., 0.1–0.3 mm) and moderate cooling to enhance the silk-like sheen while maintaining good layer bonding. Store the spool in a dry environment or sealed bag with desiccant to preserve filament quality. Avoid high-temperature environments and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to maintain color and mechanical properties.
