Dark Violet Purple PLA 3D Printer Filament, 1.75mm 3D Printing Material Widely Compatible for FDM 3D Printer, 1KG 2.2LBS Silk Dark Purple PLA Pack

First - folks have asked if there is metal (or even gold) mixed in the filament. No. (At $22 a roll, really?)It was very well sealed in a thick bag with all air removed. The bag is not reusable. They also included about 2-3 meter long samples of all of their "Silk" filaments and some nozzle cleaners. There is also an included card which requests you contact them directly if you have concerns.It is bright and shiny on the roll. It doesn't print quite as shiny as it is on the spool, but is is a nice gold color with a definite sheen. The sticker in the spool recommends it to be printed hot 200-220. I ran a temperature tower (with my cooling fan off) from 220 to 180 degrees. The color is consistent through the temperature range with the best bridging at around 200. I have printed a few objects now at 205C with no jams, excellent print quality, very good bed adhesion (Magigoo on glass at 65C) and consistent color.I have used CC3D brand silk filament and been happy with it. I was about to order the CC3D silk gold when I saw this brand I thought I would give it a try. I am pleased that I did. At $22 a spool this is a great deal.I have ordered several TTYT3D filaments now and am happy with them all. The latest that I have purchased is the Rose Gold. It is the same color you see in the pictures - perfectly well named. I just ordered a roll of the silk blue and I am certain I will be happy with it as well.I highly recommend this line of filament.As an aside - I am glad that they included the sample filaments. The "Bronze" is definitely a dark green. I think they are aiming for the color of verdigris on bronze and not the bronze itself. But the sample of silk blue is beautiful. I just ordered a spool.

Amazing filament with amazing colors, one of the most beautiful I've had. No problems with this stuff, easy to print, just buy and use

A wonderful filament that has a nice shiny appearance.I print on a Prusa Mini+ and don't have jam problems since the filament diameter tolerances are consistent.I print at 220 degrees since the higher temperatures cause stringing.But with all PLA filament, the bed adhesion is a consideration, so be aware to use support for your print if it lifts off.The only negative is that the filament is higher than average but it's the only filament other than Prusa Filament that I use. I am not a production house but just an individual experimenting with printing one offs and the extra dollar or two per spool is not an issue.

This rainbow filliment can make some really cool and beautiful prints and it did do the job I wanted. I do have a couple issues though that I thought I should share.First, the peacock image displayed this product listing is misleading as it shows a distinct blue layer. There is no blue layer in this filliment. I've used 3 rolls and they all transition straight from red, to purple, to green, to yellow, to gold, and back to red. No blue.Second, the suggested print temp range is listed as 205c-230c. However, with the suggested temps I experienced clog after clog that required disassembly of my hot end to get at. I finally got it to print well and consistently at 235c. This is hotter than I feel like I should have needed to go. Maybe quality control is lacking and I got a bad batch? Doubt it since three rolls performed the same.Lastly, this stuff is super brittle and not because of the high heat required to print. Even on the roll if you compare it to another brand it is not as pliable. It will snap when others continue to bend further. This isn't a problem assuming you are just printing something for looks. Just know, it will break apart very easy under any strain and be careful when removing any printed supports.

The media could not be loaded. Looks great! Amazing quality. I was looking around and couldn’t decide which gold to get until I saw this brand. No complaints.

I purchased a spool of PLA Silk Gold and Fast Color Change filaments. The filaments came in resealable bags with dessicant. Both spools printed well. Adhesion was good. The results were simply beautiful. I printed several items as gifts and I was proud of the results. I printed with bed temp 60° and extruder temp 210°, using PVA glue stick on a modified Ender-3. I did not measure filament diameter to see if it was within tolerance, but the results speak for themselves. As far as the Fast Color Change filament, color blend was even and color change fit the model. Other color change filaments take way too long to change color so models don't show the full color change.One minor issue I noticed was that there is a lot of silicon lubricant on the filament. After about 12 hours printing, I observed that the print head was covered with lubricant and it was dripping to the glass bed. I printed a filament filter (several models are available on Thingiverse or you can buy one online), put it in front of the extruder and the problem was resolved. I just have to remember to wash the filter before it gets saturated. This sounds worse than it is. I suspect that the reason the prints turn out so well is because of the lubricant. It has no negative effect on adhesion unless perhaps, you try to print in a puddle of lube. The mess cleaned up easily with Isopropyl Alcohol.TTYT3D is now my go-to brand for decorative filament.

The gold PLA I have had to work with, the extruder didn't like it, clogged no matter the settings. Very brittle, my roll was wound bad so it was getting caught non stop, so every time it got caught it would simply snap off. I had to throw a lot of it away in bad prints and broken chunks. Even had to replace a nozzle that I could absolutely not get unplugged. After using this stuff to make 1 print on 20 tries, I switched back to different PLA and it printed like normal with no issues. The problem for me here is I bought this a quite a while back and just pulled it out last week to use it. So no warranty, it was stored in original packaging in a cabinet. I guess I just got unlucky with my roll.
