- If excessive stringing occurs, the materials may need to be dried in a dehydrator.
- First layer nozzle temperature usually 5°C-10°C higher than subsequent layers.
Not quite as shiny as expected, but still very nice when used with darker colours.
GREAT GOLD PLA!
Shiny and gold, as one would want.
I printed this with a .24mm layer height and my Anet A8 printer could obviously use a bit of work to get smoother lines, but this filament has a beautiful silky sheen to it. It is also quite strong and simply has a great colour when offset against either matte or glossy black. The picture is my DIY portable laser projector turned into searchlight device. It has 2 axis that can point the projector beam in any direction on the sphere except a 45 degree cone at the bottom due to the base. I simply programmed it to glide to a random location at a random speed with a gradual acceleration: A very cool effect as long as you don't look directly at it :)
All in all, EconoFil PLA is excellent value: Great quality at a surprisingly affordable price. Specifically, I have not seen Silk PLA priced anywhere close to this. Highly recommended and hoping the manufacturer produces even more colours to choose from.
Ian.
This is a really good filament, it's pretty much like other silk PLA brands, but at a much lower cost. Details are great, this filament needs a little more temperature (+3-5C) to get the same results as standard PLA according to my tests. The only downside I can think of about this silk filament is that the z-layers don't seem to bond together as well as the standard filament.ca PLA. I did lots of print tests at various temperatures and it seems like the silk additives make the filament delaminate a bit more, but not enough in my opinion to knock more than 1 star out of this review.
All in all, I'm quite satisfied with the results, you probably will too!
I like this filament very much and love the shiny gold look, Would buy it again.
I didn't need to change any settings and the result is awesome. Almost perfect. Econo PLA is my way to go now. But the gold one.. is simply gorgeous and easy to work with!
Great filament. Colour is vibrant and very reflects light well. Looks almost like metal. Would recommend.
Great PLA for the price point.
Fantastic colour and great fidgets!
Prints great at a great price.
Fantastic selection of colour options.
darker than in the picture and not much shine, so for me this color is dark gold but not silk
Printed perfectly
This is my favorite silk gold I've used to date. Hands down. It's a bit foamy but works and looks amazing when final.
