The following parameters are only suggestions that may help you make the best use of Geeetech Silk PLA 3D printer filament. It is necessary to select the appropriate settings for a specific 3D printer and specific printing conditions if you want to ensure the best quality of the 3D printed parts.
| Nozzle Temperature: 200-230°C | Flowrate: 95-105% | Retraction (bowden): 4-6 mm |
| Bed Temperature: 50°C | Printing Speed: <60 mm/s | Retraction Speed: 20-45 mm/s |
| Closed chamber: Not Needed | Surace: PEI, glass, masking tape | Notes: Due to the strong adhesion, damage to the bed surface (eg PEI) may occur. We recommend printing on a tape. |
| Fan Speed: 75-100% | Retraction (direct): 2-3 mm |
Printing With Silk PLA
Silk PLA has some issues with bed adhesion and clogging due to its elastic additives. To solve this, try using a glue stick or hairspray on the build platform and check the extruder calibration to prevent under-extrusion and part shrinkage. However, there’s good news! Warping is not a prevalent issue with Geeetech Silk 3D printer filament. For the best results, print at a temperature range of 200-220°C, which makes it more durable and glossy. Increasing the temperature can also improve layer adhesion and minimize layer lines. Bed temperature is a bit uncertain, though many manufacturers suggest an unheated bed. Overall, experimenting with Silk PLA can be worth it for its unique appearance and properties, even if it requires some tuning.

Featured 3D Prints
We have carefully selected a diverse range of high-quality STL files that beautifully demonstrate the excellence of the Geeetech Silk PLA filament. Our team members have meticulously curated this collection of STL files to ensure that they showcase the exceptional silkiness and unique features of the Geeetech silk filament, allowing it to truly shine and stand out from the competition. Prior to starting with the 3D prints, We checked the bed levelling to ensure the Artillery Sidewinder X3 Plus 3D printer was evenly calibrated in all areas. We did random checks to verify that the 1.75mm diameter was true, and we found only minor variations. Additionally, the colour appeared consistent throughout the entire roll.

The Artillery Sidewinder X3 Plus 3D printer’s settings remained the same throughout the entire printing process. During our testing, we observed no visible defects or deformities in the filament quality. We plan to continue testing the filament until the very end of the 1KG roll to ensure consistency.

The visual quality of the prints was impressive, with vivid colors and a smooth silky surface finish. We did notice a little bit of stringing in certain areas, but we don’t believe this was an issue with the Geeetech Silk PLA filament itself. Stringing is a common issue in 3D printing and can be caused by various factors, such as printing speed or temperature. However after the 3D models had finished we had no issues removing the 3D prints from the bed surfaces, We was rather pleased with our finished models these look fantasic in Geeetech Silk PLA filament.

Overall, if you’re in the market for a nice silk filament to experiment with, try using Geeetech. After giving it a second chance, we found that their filament has significantly improved in quality and packaging. It goes to show that Geeetech has made an effort to improve its product. A couple of years ago, we hated Geeetech filament as there were always some issues with it – it was either jamming or clogging the hotend or badly wound and brittle. However, after retesting it, we were pleasantly surprised with how far this brand has come with the quality and packaging of their filaments. We experienced absolutely no issues with the filament, and the colors turned out beautifully. The quality is definitely that of a silk PLA, and it is evident from the finished 3D model. Additionally, layer adhesion remained strong even at various layer heights. In conclusion, Geeetech filament is definitely worth trying out for those looking for a silk PLA option.
