1 / 6eSUN Silk Dual-Colour PLA Filament, 1 kg, Black Green, 1.75 mm
eSUN Silk Dual-Colour PLA is a 1 kg co-extruded filament in black and green, intended to give printed models a two-tone silk gloss that shifts with viewing angle. Its stated print settings offer a starting point, but customer feedback is mixed on print quality, adhesion and spool winding.
At a glance
- Two colours are co-extruded into one strand, producing a silk-like gloss with colour appearance that changes as a model is turned.
- The manufacturer recommends 190-230℃ nozzle temperature, 45-60°C bed temperature and 40-100mm/s printing speed.
- The listing describes the material as modified PLA and claims low warping and easy support removal.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Dual-colour silk gloss can add a changing visual effect without post-print polishing, according to the listing.
- A 1 kg quantity and 1.75 mm diameter are stated, with print settings provided as an initial reference.
- Customer feedback highlights the colour effect and finish, and mentions use with Bambu Lab A1 Mini printers.
Cons
- The manufacturer cautions that cooling is relatively poor, which can make overhangs more demanding and may call for reduced print speed.
- Customer feedback is mixed on print quality and bed adhesion, with some reports of failed prints alongside positive experiences.

What to know before buying
- The manufacturer recommends reducing overhangs or print speed to improve results, and suggests a dryer box to help the spool rotate smoothly and avoid uneven colour from wobble. Store opened filament in its original vacuum bag in a cool, dry place and secure the loose end to reduce winding risk.
Listing details to confirm
Customer feedback also mentions clogging, filament sticking to the spool and inconsistent winding, ranging from neat to badly warped. These are reported experiences, not confirmed defects.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- 3D-printing buyers seeking a black-and-green silk surface with an angle-dependent colour effect.
- Users who can tune settings for PLA and are comfortable adjusting speed or overhangs if cooling proves challenging.
Less suited to
- Buyers who need reliably confirmed adhesion or print outcomes without adjustment, given the mixed feedback.
- Projects where a matte or single-colour appearance is required.

Customer feedback highlights the dual-colour look and finish, with positive comments about value and reported compatibility with Bambu Lab A1 Mini printers. Experiences are mixed on print quality and bed adhesion, and feedback also flags clogging, filament sticking to the spool and inconsistent winding. These reports matter because the filament's visual effect may suit decorative prints, while successful results can depend on adhesion, spool handling and tuning around its stated cooling limitation.
Positive themes
- Customers mention the dual-colour design and finish positively.
- Feedback includes positive comments on value and use with Bambu Lab A1 Mini printers.
Negative themes
- Some customer reports describe print failures, clogging, filament sticking to the spool and badly warped spools.
Mixed feedback
- Print quality and bed adhesion receive mixed feedback, with both successful prints and problems reported.
- Spool winding is described inconsistently, from neat winding to badly warped spools.
Frequently asked questions
What appearance does this filament aim to produce?
