PLA Silk Gembird filaments are the ideal choice for everyone who wants to achieve a silky smooth and glossy surface of prints without having to change print settings or laboriously post-process models after printing.
This material is based on classic PLA (Polylactic Acid), but is enriched with special additives that give it a subtle shine and smoother material flow, which results in a smooth, metallic glossy surface of the final model.
PLA Silk Gembird is perfect for decorative, presentation and design prints, where appearance, colour and detail are crucial.

Unlike standard PLA filament, Gembird PLA Silk offers a silk surface effect that turns your prints into representative and visually striking objects. At the same time, it retains all the advantages of classic PLA filament – easy use, low shrinkage and odour-free printing.
The material is perfect for open-frame printers, does not require a heated print bed and prints without deformation and layer cracking.
Characteristic properties of Gembird PLA Silk:
High, silky gloss with a smooth-surface effect
Excellent layer adhesion and dimensional accuracy
Easy to print even on basic printers
Odourless and non-toxic material
Environmentally friendly – biodegradable polymer
Low shrinkage, no warping of prints
Fine texture and sharp layer details
Gembird PLA Silk is ideal for printing trophies, jewellery, figurines, lettering, packaging, company logos, design accessories or decorative objects. Thanks to its gloss, the final prints look lacquered, pearlescent or metallic, and that without any post-processing.
At the same time, the material maintains a stable structure and strength, so the prints are not brittle and keep their shape well.
Recommended printing parameters:
Nozzle temperature: 200–220 °C
Bed temperature: 40–60 °C (optional)
Print speed: 40–70 mm/s
Printing with PLA Silk Gembird is smooth and clean – the filament does not stick to the nozzle, does not sputter and does not create smears, making it ideal even for long prints with large surfaces.
Each spool of Gembird PLA Silk is precisely wound, vacuum-sealed and protected with desiccant, which ensures consistent quality and even material flow throughout the entire print job.
The filaments are available in attractive colour variants, such as gold, silver, copper, bronze, pearlescent or black with metallic gloss, which enhance the shapes and details of every model.
