First off, let me just say – these filaments are GORGEOUS. The 18-color sample pack is like a candy store for 3D printing enthusiasts. Each 4-meter strand gives you just enough to test colors before committing to full spools.
The silk finish has this luxurious sheen that makes prints look premium. I printed a small vase in the rose gold, and it legit looks like a high-end decor piece. Friends thought I bought it at a store!
Printing experience? Mostly smooth sailing. Using my Ender 3 at 215°C with a 0.5mm nozzle worked perfectly. The filament feeds consistently without warping – a huge plus compared to some cheaper brands I've tried.
Now the not-so-perfect bits: The 'rainbow' transition doesn't include blue like the product image suggests (bummer for peacock-themed projects). Also, handle with care – this filament is more brittle than standard PLA. I snapped a few strands while loading.
Pro tip: Store these in airtight bags with desiccant. The shiny finish seems more sensitive to moisture than regular PLA.
Would I recommend? Absolutely – especially for decorative pieces, cosplay accessories, or anything where that metallic sheen makes an impact. Just don't use it for functional parts needing flexibility.
