Spectrum ReFill PLA Magic SILK Solar flare

Spectrum ReFill PLA Magic SILK 1.75 mm Filament

Two Colours in One Filament for Exceptional Prints

Spectrum PLA Magic SILK brings a visually attractive effect to the world of 3D printing thanks to an advanced manufacturing technology called co-extrusion. In this process, two streams of molten PLA of different colours are simultaneously forced through a special extrusion head, merging into a single final filament. The result is a single filament that carries both colours. During printing, these colours mix and alternate, leading to dynamic colour transitions and sheens that change depending on the viewing angle and the model's lighting.

This filament is based on PLA (Polylactide), which is known for its ease of printing. The combination of two colours and a special treatment gives prints a smooth, silky gloss surface that enhances their aesthetic value. The colour-changing effect is best highlighted on models with more complex details and curves.

What is ReFill and how does it work?

This package is supplied as a ReFill – the filament is wound on a cardboard core without a disposable plastic spool. This system is designed for use with reusable spools, such as the Spectrum ReFill Spool. Using ReFill cartridges is simple, reduces plastic waste, and is a more economical choice for frequent printing.
