Printing Tips
1. Reduce print speed: PLA silk is more viscous than regular PLA. Lower print speeds are recommended to minimize pulling and improve surface smoothness.
2. Use proper substrate adhesion: PLA Silk may be more prone to warping in some cases, so make sure that the print bed is clean and that proper adhesion measures are used (PEI sheet or glue, etc.).
3. Do not print too large overhangs: PLA Silk has a higher fluidity at high temperatures, so when printing overhangs, the material does not easily hold its shape in the air.
