Smooth Gradient, Vibrant Silk Finish
Panchroma™ Gradient Silk PLA blends seamlessly from one colour into the next along the spool, paired with a glossy, silk-like surface finish. It’s an upgraded formula built to avoid the harsh blending lines and clogging issues found in generic gradient filaments, giving clean colour transitions with a shine that holds up even at higher print speeds.
Consistent, Colourway-Specific Gradient Cycles
Each spool is wound with a measured colour cycle so transitions run predictably along the filament rather than blending at random. Available in five gradient colourways — Rainbow, Fire, Water, Air and Earth — each with its own colour sequence and cycle length, so the look of the gradient varies between variants.
Improved Formula
Reduced brittleness and clogging compared to earlier silk-type filaments, with better layer adhesion and increased ductility — giving more reliable prints without sacrificing the glossy finish.
Easy To Print
Prints on standard FDM/FFF printers using typical PLA settings, with no special hardware or profile changes required. Suitable for beginners and experienced makers alike.
Reliable AMS & Multi-Material Feeding
Supplied on a cardboard spool designed to work with Bambu Lab AMS and other multi-material systems, as well as standard single-spool setups.
Printing Requirements
None — this prints well on any standard FDM 3D printer. On older or entry-level machines, printing a little slower will give the cleanest, glossiest results.
Colourways Available
Rainbow, Fire, Water, Air, Earth — each a unique gradient sequence with its own colour-cycle length.
