Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

This is the best filament i have ever purchased for my ender 3 v2 neo. It is wound onto the spool so that it doesn’t snag and it fits through my bowden tube and into my extruder without issue. Great filament for the cost.

The molten stretchiness means it doesn't ooze out of the nozzle nearly as much as most other materials. My suggested temps are 210c for the nozzle and 60c for the bed.

This beautiful copper melt very nicely, and shine very beautifully. Prints very well and is a beautiful copper color. This makes it easier for people to envision what prototype parts might look like if/when they are made out of metal.

Once you get the settings dialed in i think it's good stuff. Used ender 5 plus with silent board. We have an mp mini select (version 2) that we've played with for years.

Cons

Constant popping at the nozzle. A sure sign of moisture, despite being in a dryer box for 24+ hours. Likely it would have jammed if i tried to print with it.

Shame on them for banning other 3d printer manufacturers. Still failed horribly. If amazon goes to a vendor and doesn't spot check their quality, it just becomes a waste of time for everyone when you inevitably return it.

Quality

I have tried several brands and the quality of this one is very good, and it is less expensive than the others i use.

I've bought a few spools of the amazon basics silk pla and have been pleased with the results.

I'm usually apprehensive to "amazon brand" items, because for some things (like tools and equipment and such) the quality contr... Read More

I’ve used other “silk” shiny filaments before and lately i’ve had some bad runs with the brands i usually used.

Price

Don’t let the price fool you: this isn’t “amazon” filament, it’s great filament made by a reputable manufacturer that just happ... Read More

From what i can tell it is just esun filiment but at a better price.

Shipping

Wish though there was no waste in adding packing tape to secure the end of the strand to the spool for shipping.

Packaging/appearance

First try, straight out of the box onto the printer for a 14 hour job went without issues.

I painted on a thinned out gloss black and then wiped off the excess to give it a weathered "less bright" look.

I had a few blemish marks but i honestly think it was the gcode file that was sent to me.

Competitiveness

It printed like a champ and it came out really gorgeous.

Printing on a anycubic vyper, 200 degree c hot end and 60 degree c heated bed with .

Came with closeable bag to keep the filament dry, but that doesn't seem to be a problem for me so far.
