Since buying I have also read a lot of comments and reviews and wanted to clear some things up. It prints like PETG. It prints okay at PLA temps, but you would never know it prints like PETG unless someone called it out or you did some serious testing. You would print it like PLA and then blame bad quality on the filament, the manufacturer, or maybe think it was your own printer. Below are some common misattributed problems. Clogging the Extruder, Wrong Temperature, Cloudiness, Brittle Layers, Bad Bed Adhesion: Tish Rader was right in his reviews, IT IS NOT PLA, IT IS PETG (or at least, it prints like PETG). I was printing (somewhat)fast on the Neptune 4, (at 100-200mm^s and 220 degrees Celsius) and the supports (Since they were printed the fastest) were under extruding, leaving, what I call, the chain-link fence effect, characteristic of print temps being too low, and characteristic of a clogged nozzle. I also printed a model with supports, they were harder to remove than the supports on the PLA version of the model, so much so that I had to reprint it with a support distance of .4 at a .2mm layer height. All that being said, it did stick to the Elegoo black and Sunlu silk black PLA I printed it on top of on the Decepticon symbol. **I do feel I should mention, as PanzerWeiro pointed out, that it does stick to other PLA. I have printed it on to of MatterHackers black PLA and SUNLU Silk black PLA and it has stuck perfectly with absolutely no problems (so far, at least). So, while this filament does require PETG temps, overhang and support settings, it does stick to PLA perfectly with no problems.** The prints at this temp and speed (180-220 at 100-200mm^s) were also cloudy, as many of the reviewers probably attributed to the wrong causes. That said, the filament became visibly shinier, less cloudy, and more transparent (The blue and purple showed less of their respective colors and more white light when white light was shining through them), when the temps were upped and the speeds stayed the same (255 degrees at 100-200mm^s). I have not tried printing at higher than 255 deg, although I may to see what the effects are. However, I got the best, shiniest, strongest, and translucent results when printed at sub-80mm^s (normal, non-fast printer speeds) at 250 deg C. This being said, this was done on the stock Neptune 4 (with a custom slow profile), and I haven't been able to print this filament at all (it always turns out horrible) on the Neptune 3 Max and I don't have another printer (yet) to see if it is just the N3M being weird. I recently ran a temperature tower test and also found that prints printed at PLA temps (180-205 at 100-200mm^s) had really brittle layers (I could easily, even accidentally, pull apart those layers), with the layer adhesion becoming like regular PLA at 210-215 degrees. The filament itself is pretty brittle, it has snapped multiple times while I was trying to weave the filament through the tiny hole on the spool (It has not snapped while just sitting there, either on the printer, sitting on the spool, or even while printing, which is pretty much all I care about). The brittleness is not annoying, just slightly inconveniencing, it is no reason not to buy this filament Printing at too low a nozzle temp can result in bad bed adhesion, many reviewers attribute this to the filament, but it is actually them printing at too low a temp because ZIRO advertised this as PLA. So raise your nozzle temp, (210-215 is a good temp) and don't complain that it has bad bed adhesion, complain that they don't give the right printing preferences. They transmit light well (DO NOT BE FOOLED, in some photos the purple looks deep purple, but it is more pink than it looks, you can see the actual shade and color in the picture with the non-lit, side-by-side rock comparisons. However, the photo with the Decepticon symbol is an accurate photo, probably because it was printed with more layers and walls). The purple looks a bit pink at times, which I understand seems characteristic of some of the colors, like red looking orange. This filament is not a bad buy, ZIRO has just advertised it as PLA when it prints like PETG, leading to some confused customers and bad reviews they could have avoided. That said, I don't think that I would've bought this if I knew it prints like PETG, I was specifically looking for transparent PLA, and didn't want to deal with the hassle of printing PETG (Little did I know it would happen anyway XD). ZIRO probably knows this and won't be changing the labels anytime soon. I cannot speak for what I don't know, so I wanted to clarify. All this testing was done on the Transparent Purple PLA and Transparent Blue PLA, I did not test and cannot speak for any of the other colors. I did not receive a tangled, broken, or otherwise damaged spool when I bought these two colors. That is not to say it cannot happen. However, it is my understanding that many reviewers have received replacement spools from ZIRO when these things happened to them. I will be buying this again and do recommend it, but only if you know what you're buying. Review: Really Glows - Bought this because my buddy is into blacklight stuff. My only issue is there is the smallest of color variation, which isn't really an issue, since you don't see it under blacklight. It seems like it might be a bit more brittle than PLA 2+, the supports snap more than cut. The supports come off cleanly. Sticks nicely to clean textured plate. Ran a temp tower and got a little stringy below 210C, but that was right out of the bag, so maybe a little wet from the factory. I've been running my nozzle at 215C and been really happy with my prints, so much so that I bought 2 colors to play with. I recommend. Edit: The green really glows under black light. The orange does not pop quite as much . I'm going to up the temps a bit and dry it down further. ## Features - [Hight Quality Silky PLA]- The gold PLA filament is made of premium raw material, which features excellent printability: good ductility, higher strength, no odor, no warp, clog-free, and bubble-free.

Yes, I think we can say it's kind of army greenish for the "bronze" , different color understanding for the color name. You can check our pictures to get the color look. I will upload a video to show the color later, thx. **Q: Is your Silk Gold filament discontinued?** A: Hello friend, We are sorry that our Silk Gold filament is out of stock now. We've already made replenishment. The Amazon warehouse’s receiving is delayed, so we are not sure about the exact time of it to be available again. Please check it later then, thank you for your patience. Best Regards -ZIRO3D- **Q: Does this pla silk work with a 0.2 nozzle. I have a Bambu lab p1s with a 0.2 nozzle. I need pla silk that doesnt clog in a .2. Will this work ?** A: Hi, yes, for the 1.75mm silky PLA, 0.2mm nozzle is fine. But for 1.75mm special pla that is with glitter powder, 0.4mm nozzled is suggested. **Q: Are there other materials in this such as fossil fuel plastics to make it flexible? Is there a data sheet?** A: Hi, the filament is made of composite material to make sure it is flexible enough to use. We are unable to offer exact materials' name for reasons of trade confidentiality. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ READ BEFORE BUYING, I'VE POOLED ALL THE INFORMATION I COULD FIND *by M***Y on August 12, 2024* I ordered the Transparent Purple and Transparent Blue.

The rose gold color is really pretty in person, soft but still metallic enough to stand out without looking overly shiny or cheap. Printing was smooth and consistent for me. It fed well and I didn’t have to fight with settings to get clean results, which isn’t always the case with silk PLA. The finish came out nice and even, with just enough sheen to highlight details without exaggerating layer lines. It is soooo smooth! I’ve used it on a few different prints now, and it’s been reliable each time. If you’re looking for a more subtle metallic tone (instead of the super bold golds or silvers), this is a really nice option. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/224608695-ziro-silk-pla-filament-1-75mm-1kg-spool-accuracy-0](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/224608695-ziro-silk-pla-filament-1-75mm-1kg-spool-accuracy-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
