Silk PLA filaments may have adhesion issues with the printing platform during printing. If the filament does not adhere firmly to the print platform, it may cause print failure or deformation. Solutions include using an appropriate build base (e.g. tape, glue) before printing, adjusting the build bed temperature, and using a dedicated build build surface.

The printing temperature range of silk PLA filaments is narrower than that of ordinary PLA filaments. If the printing temperature is too high or too low, the filament may not be extruded normally or may become clogged. Make sure the extrusion temperature set on your printer matches the recommended temperature for your silk PLA filament, and clean the extrusion port and nozzle regularly to avoid clogging issues.

Silk PLA filaments are prone to warping and deformation during the printing process. This may be because the printing base temperature is too high, the printing speed is too fast, the ambient temperature is too low, etc. Solutions include using a heated bed, adjusting printing parameters, increasing the printing chamber temperature, etc.

Due to the special surface treatment of silk PLA filament, problems can arise when printing small parts or items with intricate details. This can cause details to be lost, break, or become easily shattered. Solutions include adjusting printing parameters, increasing the thickness of the part, using support structures, etc.

The color of silk PLA filaments may have slight color differences due to changes in printing temperature. If color consistency is important to you, try using the same print parameters and filament batches in the same print.
