Filament Cheat Sheet
E3D Printing Filament Settings (Silk PLA)
Nozzle Temperature: 208°C
Bed Temperature: 60°C
Retraction Distance: 0.8 mm Retraction Speed: 25–45 mm/s
Cooling Fan: 100% (after first few layers)
Flow Rate / Extrusion Multiplier: 0.96
Layer Height: 0.12–0.28 mm First Layer Height: 0.2 mm
Maximum Print Speed: Under 300 mm/s Outer Wall Speed: 60 mm/s
Adhesion Tips: PEI sheet, glue stick, or textured bed
Storage: Keep in airtight container with desiccant
Tips for Best Results:
Lower temps help reduce stringing
Slower speeds improve surface finish
If layers don’t bond well, increase nozzle temp slightly (max 212°C)
