Vibrant Treasures Tri-Color Silk Series 3D Printer Filamt 1.75mm 2.2 lbs

TRI-VBT

ZYLtech Tri-Color Silk filament is made from three distinct colors extruded into one filament strand. This tri-color filament is an affordable multi-colored filament formulated to highlight the best attributes of the material. The tri-color filament creates beautiful, eye-catching 3D prints with an incredible silk finish. You can glimpse each visible color by rotating your print to various positions.

Printing Tips:

Similar to all other silk filament, Zyltech multicolor silk filament needs to be printed at higher nozzle temperature and lower speed.

We suggest you start with following settings and adjust them based on your result.

1. Print speed for perimeters is suggested to be slower than 60 mm/s, slower speed will result in glossy surface finish and stronger layer adhesion. It worth noting, when the parameters are tuned up perfectly, we have no problem getting successful print at 100mm/s. 

2. Nozzle temperature. We suggest you start with 220°C. Our multicolor silk filament is best printed between 200-230°C

3. Part cooling. Because multicolor silk filament needs to be printed at higher temperature, it'Ts important to have proper part cooling to avoid surface defects and warping. However, cooling too fast will weaken the layer adhesion. A careful balance is needed for successful print.

4. Top and bottom infill patterns: we suggest concentric and monotonic for the most dramatic and beautiful looks.

5. Spool and filament positioning: It is very important that the filament is routed to the extruder and hot-end without any twists and kinks, and ideally under constant tension. If the filament rotates, there will be undesired vertical banding.
