Pros & Cons
Pros
The color blend is very unique and the finish has more a glossy reflection than regular filament. I love the way it catches the light and the colors shift depending on which angle you're looking at it from. This is by far one of my favorite filaments,... Read More
Silk pla prints very nice on my bambu labs a1. Once things start warming up and i'm able to resume printing at mu usual temperatures and speeds, i fully expect this to become one of my favorite filaments. Extrusion/nozzle temperature 190°c - 220°c (37... Read More
The filament feeds nicely and is not brittle.
It's a small spool and price wise it's not terrible. Nice shine and good quality. The manual contains very good information for beginning users.
Cons
Never had that problem with creality or elegoo filaments. Had to disassemble the extruder and everything to clean out clogs.
I am really disappointed in the color quality, but it was a fairly cheap lesson learned for a $10 250g spool. It measures around 1. It's a shame really because i liked the color effect, but unfortunately, i cannot recommend this filament.
Highlights
Quality
Great build plate adhesion, no issues with layers either.
Seems to be a good quality filament you should consider if you are looking for such.
I started running prints hotter than recommended until i hit around 210, and then it printed without clogging, but kept stringi... Read More
For the first few prints at the recommended temps, it kept failing prints by clogging my ender 3's .
Price
Seems to be a good filament for the price.
Love the color and is such a great buy for the price also
So this was on sale for a super good price i couldn't pass up.
I’m not completely sure but it seems like the price of dual color silk pla has been falling.
Packaging/appearance
The filament came well packed and neatly wounded.
I got the red+black filament, and it just looks cool.
The filament came vacuum-sealed and is wound on sturdy cardboard (recyclable) rolls.
Comes on a cardboard spool although from the amazon images it looks like some of their filaments come on plastic spools.
Competitiveness
I have been into 3d printing for 7 years and am on my 6th printer because the technology is evolving so fast, and the new machi... Read More
I didn’t have the highest of expectations as i hadn’t even heard of the 3dgenius brand, but i decided to give it a try.
The thing i hate about most modern cheap pla blends is that they can be so inconsistent.
Yes as with any silk you have to work with your retractions to avoid it stringing, this one is no more or no less than any top shelf brand.

I have purchased other twocolor silk filaments in the past and they are either long or shortchanging filaments where the color slowly changes back and forth as the filament is printed
