Silk TPU Gold is developed for makers who want both flexibility and visual quality in the same print. Traditional TPU focuses mainly on function, while silk materials focus on appearance. This material bridges the two — maintaining TPU elasticity while delivering a smooth metallic silk finish that enhances the final printed result.
The gold tone appears subtle during extrusion but becomes more vibrant once the print is completed, as the silk particles reflect light differently across layers. This creates a soft metallic depth without requiring painting or post-processing.
Unlike standard flexible filaments that often show strong layer lines or dull surfaces, Silk TPU Gold produces a cleaner visual surface while preserving the durability and flexibility expected from TPU.
Silk TPU Gold is engineered for stable extrusion and consistent flow, reducing common TPU issues such as uneven surfaces or excessive stringing when printed under proper settings. The material performs well on most modern printers equipped with direct drive systems and tuned retraction settings.
For best visual results, dry filament before printing and allow slightly slower print speeds compared to rigid materials.
This material is especially suitable for applications where both appearance and flexibility matter:
Wearable or touch-friendly parts
Phone cases and accessories
Decorative functional components
Soft mechanical parts
Creative models requiring metallic aesthetics
Flexible without looking dull
Metallic silk finish without painting
Smooth surface appearance after printing
Balanced elasticity and durability
Suitable for both display and functional use
Nozzle Temperature: 210–230°C
Bed Temperature: 40–60°C
Print Speed: 20–150 mm/s recommended for best surface finish
Cooling Fan: 50–100% depending on model
Dry filament before printing for optimal results
Settings may vary depending on printer and model geometry.
Silk TPU Gold is compatible with most direct drive 3D printers.
Due to the flexible nature of TPU materials, AMS or multi-material automatic feeding systems are generally not recommended, as flexible filaments may cause feeding resistance.
For best results, use direct feeding or external spool holders.
