Silk PLA is loaded with a gloss additive that gives prints a shiny, almost metallic sheen - the opposite of matte, and the usual pick for vases, ornaments and gifts. Elegoo run it at 190-230 C with a 35-65 C bed but cap the speed at about 220 mm/s, since silk needs time to lay down smoothly. It is the weakest of the PLAs here at 26 MPa, so treat it as a decorative filament rather than a structural one.
