Let me start by saying this Silk PLA filament is a game-changer for adding visual flair to 3D prints. The black-red-gold dual color effect creates stunning two-tone surfaces that shift depending on viewing angle - like automotive flip paint for your prints!
Printing experience was mostly smooth. The filament fed reliably through my Creality Ender 3, though I did notice slightly more resistance when loading compared to standard PLA. No clogs or tangles during multiple prints, which is always a win. The silk finish gives an amazing glossy sheen that makes prints look premium.
The color transition effect works best on larger, curved surfaces where you can really appreciate the gradient. On small detailed prints, the colors tend to blend together more. Temperature control is crucial - I found 200-205°C nozzle temp with 60°C bed gave optimal results with minimal warping.
Durability seems good for decorative items, though I wouldn't use it for functional parts needing high strength. The silk coating can show layer lines more prominently than matte filaments, so dialing in your printer settings is important.
At this price point, it's fantastic value compared to single-color silk filaments. Just be aware the colors may appear differently than expected - in my case the red had more silk finish while the black was more matte, creating an interesting contrast effect.
Overall, if you want eye-catching decorative pieces without multi-material printing hassles, this dual-color silk PLA delivers beautiful results with reliable printing performance.
