What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
It produces nicely detailed prints with a bright metallic shine. I print this hotter at 215-220 to get 80mm/s speed out of it.
This is the first dual-color silk filament from them that i have used and so far, i am liking it!
The finish is very shiny with a metal look and the colors are amazing. It is absolutely beautiful with the shimmer and slight variations of perceived color. Amazing color and luster.
Filament is nicely wound on the spool and unwinds smoothly without tangling. Adhesion is as good as any other pla. The spool is cardboard, and is standard size.
Cons
Used half a roll of filament and still never could get a usable cookie cutter. Extruder grinds up the filament and stops advancing.
Highlights
Quality
I'd say it's a little expensive compared to some other dual color silks, but the quality is great.
I was pleased with the quality of the plastic and the way it printed.
The final part was inconsistent with the direction of each color.
That being said, i recommend this filament to others, as the quality of the plastic, lack of stringing, and moderate durability... Read More
Price
Price is comparable to other filaments in this vein.
Packaging/appearance
Packaging was good and sealed, cardboard spool marked with remaining filament gauge is a plus.
I had no problems with adhesion or removal at my usual temps of 200° on the hotend and 50° on the bed.
Going down the tube was another story since it wants to stay the same form on the roll there was resistance pushing it to the hotend.
The filament was flexible out of the packaging.
Competitiveness
One thing to note that i did have as an issue with a competitor (same silk, purp with gold) is that this actually does print purp and gold.
I'm relatively new to the 3d printing world, so have been reluctant to leave reviews until i tried more than a few brands.

This dual color is present for every part of the filament so the color change appears only on difference surfaces

The adhesion to heated build plates is not as good as with flat pla but i think that is inherent to the glossinness of the material not in the manufacturer
