Tips for printing Silk PLA filament
1. It's not recommended to use Silk PLA on printers which suffer from heat creep.
2. Under normal conditions Silk PLA should print with a high gloss however with high printing speeds Silk PLA may not melt correctly resulting in a dull or inconsistent surface finish. Using a slower speed for perimeters, limiting volumetric flow to 8 cubic mm/s and trying a slightly higher nozzle temperature can help.
