OzFDM Tri-Colour PLA Silk Filament
OzFDM’s Tri-Colour Silk PLA is the perfect choice for makers who want bold, high impact prints with a premium glossy finish. Featuring a co extruded design, three distinct colours run side by side within a single strand, allowing prints to shift in appearance depending on the viewing angle. This creates a dynamic, colour changing effect that adds depth, movement, and a silky pearlescent sheen straight off the build plate, giving every print a unique finish.
Built on a PLA base, it remains easy to print with low warping, minimal odour, and consistent layer adhesion across a wide range of printers. Unlike traditional multi colour setups, this filament delivers vibrant, multi toned results without the need for additional systems or filament swaps. Ideal for decorative models, artistic prints, toys, and display pieces, Tri Colour Silk PLA makes it easy to produce professional, visually striking results with minimal effort.

Dynamic Colour for Every Angle
Triple the Colour, Triple the Impact with Tri-Colour Silk PLA
We are proud to offer 5 bold tri colour silk combinations, where three tones are co extruded into a single strand to create a shifting, high gloss finish. As the print moves, so does the colour, revealing new tones and transitions from every angle. With a silky surface, rich pigmentation, and effortless visual depth, each shade is designed to bring your prints to life without the need for multi material setups.
Triple Colour, Single Feed
Smooth Multi Colour Printing, No Extra Setup
Tri Colour Silk PLA is fully compatible with Bambu Lab AMS systems, allowing you to enjoy seamless multi colour printing without the need for manual filament changes. Because the three colours are co extruded within a single strand, you get dynamic colour shifting effects while using just one AMS slot, making it both efficient and visually impactful.
With reliable feeding, low warping, and consistent extrusion, Tri Colour Silk PLA delivers vibrant, high gloss results effortlessly across a wide range of AMS enabled setups.
Built for Visual Impact
Tripple Colour, One Continuous Feed
- Three distinct colours are co extruded side by side within a single strand, creating a seamless tri colour effect throughout your print.
- Unlike gradient filaments that shift over length, this structure delivers consistent colour variation across every layer, allowing each surface to reveal a different tone depending on orientation.
- The result is a dynamic, multidimensional finish that adds depth and visual interest without any extra setup.
Silk Finish That Stands Out
- Formulated for a smooth, high gloss surface, Tri Colour Silk PLA produces a silky, reflective finish straight off the build plate.
- Light interacts with each colour differently, enhancing the shifting effect and giving prints a premium, almost metallic appearance.
- This makes it ideal for decorative models, display pieces, and any design where visual impact matters just as much as form.
Easy Printing, Consistent Results
- Built on a PLA base, Tri Colour Silk PLA remains easy to print with low warping, minimal odour, and reliable layer adhesion.
- It feeds smoothly through most standard 3D printers and performs consistently across a wide range of settings, making it accessible for both beginners and experienced makers.
- With strong print reliability and striking results, it’s a simple way to elevate your prints without adding complexity.
Understanding Tri-Colour Silk PLA at a Glance
- Tri Colour Silk PLA is designed with visual impact in mind, prioritising finish and ease of use over mechanical strength.
- It scores highly in ease of printing thanks to its PLA base, offering low warping and consistent, reliable results across a wide range of printers.
- Durability and strength sit at a moderate level, making it suitable for decorative and light functional prints rather than high load applications.
- With low heat resistance and moderate flexibility, it performs best in indoor environments where aesthetics are the priority.
- Overall, it’s a well balanced filament for creating bold, high gloss prints with minimal effort.

Drying recommendation:
40°C – 45°C for 4–6 hours using a filament dryer / food dehydrator.
Storage recommendation:
Airtight bag or container with desiccant in a cool, dark and dry area to prevent moisture absorption. For optimal long term storage we recommend drying the filament prior to sealing the filament spool in a vacuum bag with desiccant.
Biodegradable under commercial composting conditions. Please do not throw into your compost bin at home.
