Pros & Cons
Pros
The aesthetics of this filament are incredible - the colors are vivid and change rapidly with extrusion direction. The tri color aspect produces stunning gradient effects. The blend of the three metallic colors makes any print pop and stand out.
This review is for the red/gold/purple tri-color silk filament. It has an amazing sheen and not soft at all. Unlike other silk filaments i've used, this one has a more subdued sheen.
The shimmery color change is smoothes on the sides. The blue-purple-black color is absolutely gorgeous. This tri color filament is perfect for my creepy crawlies, to be handed out as random acts of kindness. Kids love the spiders already, but this gor... Read More
Geeetech pla filament is so fun to work with. Love it. It looks awesome. It's like magic. Most of the time it's for practical purposes.
Cons
Ebony wood looks more like a matte black than anything wood-like. The filament is extremely brittle. If there is carbon fiber it's in the form of powder which really does nothing for your strength.
Spool of matte black pla that is only useable in decorative prints because of how easily it snaps. It smells like it's burning when printing on the upper end of the recommended temperatures, and then it still gets clogged and jams my extruder. I hate ... Read More
Highlights
Quality
The final results are strong, durable, and have an impressive silk-like sheen.
Flows smoothly, no issues during the build.
Even delicate details were sharp and adhered strongly to the print bed.
The prints adhered just fine to the plate and the prints turned out phenomenal.
Packaging/appearance
It was very well packed on the reel, no issues there.
It was very well wrapped and comes with a good ziplock bag to restore after.
I've uploaded pictures of a lotus flower print to show all the color combinations ,and a video to show how it looks as you turn it.
The packaging, while not airtight, did include a moisture-absorbing packet.
Competitiveness
This printed much better than a different brand red filament (adhesion issues).
The silk does seem to perform better than others i’ve tried.

Anything over 190 gets stringy even though the spool claims 190220

So my prints at 200 or 190 tend to get ugly

The spinner came off the build late and aside from needing to apply some pressure to break the gears free initially the spinner moves freely and easily
