Panchroma Silk PLA (Formerly PolyLite™ Silk)
New And Improved Silk Formula!
Our new silk formula solves brittleness and clogging while keeping a shiny, smooth finish. Prints faster and cleaner; up to 250mm/s with reliable results every time; ideal for 3D printing at any experience level.
Improved Layer Adhesion
Built for stronger layer bonding, this filament gives your prints extra durability without sacrificing surface finish. Great for flexi toys, cosplay props, and home décor—no advanced settings needed, just smoother, tougher results from start to finish.
Shiny at High Speeds
Maintains rich, silky shine even at 150mm/s, solving the dulling issue common with high speed silk PLA prints; excellent for fast, high-detail projects where visuals matter—get gloss and speed without needing to compromise.
Easy To Print
Panchroma Silk prints easily on most FDM 3D printers without requiring special hardware. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned maker, it delivers reliable adhesion and clean finishes at standard settings—right out of the box.
High Speed Printing
Print confidently at speeds up to 250mm/s while keeping excellent surface detail; great for high-output print farms or weekend warriors looking for reliable, good-looking multi color parts done in record time.
Polymaker vs Generic Brands
While generic silk PLA often clogs, snaps, or dulls at high speeds, our formula resists all three. Enjoy faster prints with a shiny finish, reliable feeding, and greater durability—backed by strict QA for consistency in every spool.

Technical Specifications
Everything you need before you hit print
- Use standard PLA settings, a 0.4 mm or larger nozzle, and full cooling for the best surface quality.
- Reduce printing speed when the intended shine, sparkle, or dual-color effect looks muted at higher speed.
- Use glue when needed on PC or textured PEI and allow the plate to cool before removal.

Customers praised this silk PLA filament for its "smooth and shiny" finish, vibrant colors, and excellent print quality. Many noted it prints easily with standard settings and arrives well-packaged. The sheen is "amazing" for decorative prints. Some advised printing slower for maximum shine and keeping temperatures cool. One delivery issue was noted.
Prints easy with no issues.
Polymaker is my go to filament when creating large format art. I recently completed a wall art piece with over 160 individual parts printed with Panchroma Matta PLA.
I am now in process of printing another project using their Silk PLA. I am getting consistent, beautiful results. The colors are vibrant and the silk visual effects are fantastic.
I recommend Polymaker filaments for your next project.
The colors and just glossiness of the filament is insane looks so good for decoration
High quality and gear colors the colors they have are bright and long lasting no fading long lasting strength of prints I would recommend it to everyone!
Quality filament and fast shipping.
Super easy filament to work with. I literally just loaded it into the printer and started printing, no tuning, no adjustments, nothing. It printed clean right out of the gate.
The silk silver finish looks great, especially on visible parts. Nice shine without looking cheap, and layer lines blend in really well.
Print quality has been consistent, and I didn’t run into any issues like clogging or excessive stringing.
Overall, this is a solid “plug-and-play” filament that gives really clean, high-end looking results with zero hassle.
I've been using Polymaker filament for a very long time and have had very consistent results. The Silk Green prints really well. I am running two CORE Ones and to get the best surface finish. I manually go into Prusaslicer and slow down all of the speeds to 60-80mm/s and you will get a very smooth and consistent surface finish.
Excellent Silk color it's very deep blue and shiny. Mesmerizing to look at when printed.
This is one of my go-to Greens! I love this green so much and the silk finish is really nice
Gorgeous gold color. Printed easily with a profile I use for other silks with minimal adjustments needed.
I would love to say this is the best filament or worst filament but stil l have not received it and the delivery company uniuni is no help even after I gave them my address and they keep saying unable to deliver due to wrong address . If they changed delivery companies to Fedx , ups or even the post office that knows how to deliver a package I'll give them another try
Hey Marty!
Sorry for never formerly replying to this review! Looks like we were able to help get this replaced though via our support email. Apologies again for the shipping issues!
Always dry, prints perfectly and the color is AMAZING
I love this color!
Wonderful product
This was great at 45mm/s outer wall speeds. Nice shine. It goes more of a matte finish at 100mms +
Gold silk filament is goated. Perfect for my business.
This is an excellent filament, and I have purchased 10 rolls and it's definitely being used. Current project is a large scale T60 Power Armor suite from the series Fall Out. It has the perfect shiny gun metal finish the project to life. I will definitely continue to use this filament. It prints easy with little to no adjustments in the slicer, It's really just a slice and print filament with easily break away supports. Great Job on your new filament line!
Printed great. I posted a pic of my make on your discord
Polymak Silk Silver printed great on myPrusaCore One with a slightly modified profile PLA profile; which slowed down the print speed. I mainly bought this to print a Vince Lombardi Trophy for my son's fantasy football league. I turned out amazing.
Panchroma Silk PLA prints great using standard PLA settings. The gold color has an awesome sheen.
Works more metalic feeling than a metalic PLA somehow. If you want a shiny metalic gold I recommend to get this one instead.
