PLA Silk Filament
Eolas Prints PLA Silk filament produces a stunning high-gloss metallic finish that hides layer lines and gives prints a polished, professional appearance straight off the bed — no post-processing required. Available in gold, silver, bronze, and copper, it is ideal for decorative objects, display models, jewellery, and anything where appearance matters as much as function.

A Note on Food Contact
Our food-contact certification applies to the raw filament material — the virgin pellets and masterbatches we manufacture from — not to finished printed parts. 3D-printed surfaces contain microscopic gaps between layers that can harbour bacteria, and most printers use brass nozzles that may introduce trace metals into the print. For this reason, no 3D-printed object can be guaranteed food-safe by the filament alone. If you intend a part for food contact, print it with a stainless-steel nozzle and apply a food-safe sealant — and assess suitability for your specific use. This remains the responsibility of the maker.
Recommended Print Settings
