Description
Silk Finish. Shifting Colour.
PLA Silk Midnight Blaze – Bambu’s Dual Colour Filament
PLA Silk Midnight Blaze from Bambu Lab fuses two silk tones — deep blue and fiery red — into a single strand. As a result, prints come out high-gloss with colour that shifts as the object turns.
So it’s ideal for decorative models, figurines, vases and display pieces where colour movement and shine matter.
Dual Colour Silk Finish
Two hues merge into one strand, so prints get a shifting, high-gloss surface.
Reusable Spool Included
It comes on a Basic Reusable Spool, so it’s ready for refills once the roll runs out.
RFID for AMS
RFID stores the printing parameters, and the AMS reads them automatically.
All AMS Series Compatible
It works across AMS, AMS 2 Pro, AMS HT and AMS lite.
Colour That Moves With The Light
PLA Silk Midnight Blaze: Captivating Dual-Colour Effects
PLA Silk Midnight Blaze blends two distinct hues into one strand. Because of this, rotating the printed object reveals shifting colour perspectives — vibrant, ever-changing patterns between deep blue and fiery red.
Since the effect depends on viewing angle and lighting, every print looks slightly different. That makes it ideal for decorative models, figurines and display pieces, where visual interest matters just as much as the shape itself.
Intelligent Filament Recognition
RFID Support for Automatic AMS Settings
RFID embeds all the printing parameters for PLA Silk Midnight Blaze, so the AMS reads them automatically as soon as you load the spool.

Printing and Drying Tips
Printing Tips
- For the best colour transition and gloss, we recommend reducing outer wall speed to 40 mm/s
- Because A-series printers carry a higher risk of filament rotation due to their structure, we don’t recommend using this filament on them — otherwise colour transitions can come out uneven
Drying Recommendations
We dry and vacuum-seal this filament before shipping. However, transport conditions can still affect moisture levels along the way.
- Dry it immediately after opening, then store it in a sealed container with desiccant or in the AMS
- Repeat drying and moisture-proofing before each long-term storage period
- Dry it before use for the best print quality and a consistent finish

PLA Silk Midnight Blaze FAQ
What is PLA Silk Midnight Blaze best used for?
Because the shifting blue-red silk finish adds so much visual interest, it suits decorative models, figurines, vases and display pieces best.
Does the colour really change when you rotate the print?
Yes. Since the strand blends two colours together, the visible tone shifts between deep blue and fiery red depending on viewing angle and lighting.
Is it compatible with the AMS?
Yes, it’s compatible with AMS, AMS 2 Pro, AMS HT and AMS lite, and RFID also handles automatic material recognition.
Can I use it on an A-series printer?
We don’t recommend it, since A-series printers carry a higher risk of filament rotation and uneven colour transitions due to their structure.
What print speed gives the best result?
We recommend slowing the outer wall speed to 40 mm/s, since that gives the best gloss and colour transition.
Should I dry it before printing?
Yes. Even though it ships dried and vacuum-sealed, drying it after opening and before each long storage period keeps print quality consistent.
Is PLA Silk Midnight Blaze available in Cyprus?
Yes, The 3D Factory stocks it, since we’re Cyprus’s official Bambu Lab reseller and deliver across the island.
