Pros & Cons
Pros
Voxalab aquila (swiss micro) is all metal hotend and. Infill 20 (not sure matters much based on design of vase. The effect works beautifully but is most noticeable during vase mode.
The spool winding is perfect and never a * when printing. Layer adhesion seems just fine, offering plenty of strength. The roll is neat and on a good quality spool, so no hanging during prints. No tangle or feeding issues either.
The esun silk magic pla has a very shiny finish and the blue/green coextrusion looks fantastic. This filament has a beautiful shimmer and shine to it that feels almost magical. The result is a beautiful metallic silik pla with a chrome like, ultra shi... Read More
The blue is an electric medium blue, almost a turquoise. The red is a vibrant pinkish ruby red.
The only caveat is that you cannot control how the colors interact. It's all about finding that perfect temperature and watching as your creations come to life in vibrant color. However, it’s not all rainbows and sunshine.
Cons
Cardboard roll gets deformed easily. Filament keeps jamming near the sides of the roll and failing to feed properly. My guess is this is due to the cardboard deformity/lack of rigidity, or poor quality control in the factory. Buy a drier, dry the * ou... Read More
Highlights
Quality
This is quality material, easy to work with and delivers plenty of shine and bright vibrant color.
One of the best filaments i’ve used in my 8 years of 3d printing!

Price
Essentially, this is good to above average filament and prints pretty well, but i feel it is a bit more expensive than it should be.
Shipping
Wonderful product amazon sent wrong filament 6 times .
Packaging/appearance
Came well sealed and no issues with excess moisture resulting in very clean blob and defect free prints.
This filament looks very nice and should do very well for christmas decor, etc (especially this silver and gold combo).
Filament arrived vacuum sealed with the obligatory silica packet, neatly wound around a plastic spool.
All the dinosaurs shown were printed in the same batch, but rotated differently, so they catch different amounts of the red and blue.
Competitiveness
You can download the designs for free at prusa printables and thingyverse.
I've had great results with esun in the past and this is no difference.
