SUNLU Silk Copper PLA Filament 1.75mm 3D Printer Filament, 1KG 2.2 LBS Spool 3D Printing Material, Shiny Metallic PLA Silk Copper

Review after approx. 1month of useProsGreat shineEasy to printLooks amazingGold filament looks like actual a metal from a distanceConsNot good in strength (though not very poor)

Prints exactly like shown in the pictures. Very good quality

Excellent quality filament. Will recommend it to everyone.

It lacks strength and rigidity. Doesn't meet requirements of 3D printing

Color quality is OK, but it's not sticking to bed, for bed adhesion I am using other PLA as raft, then for real part I am using thisNeed to improve bed adhesion, else it is file

This was the first filament purchased for our DIY printer. For any filament, one has to arrive at the optimal parameters, especially for the first layer. I started getting good success and repeatability with the following parameters:Hotbed temperature: 62 degrees CelsiusHotbed lining: Glass topFilament temperature: First Layer: 226, Subsequent Layers: 221 (Reduced for enhancing life of the hotend).I am attaching the photograph of a Bathinov filter, which is used for focusing a telescope; but here, it served as a precision article for establishing the 3D printer parameters.

The media could not be loaded.  First I printed 2 vases using the PrettyPLA v4.0 profile on the Prusa mk3s , 3 walls thick and with the octagram spiral pattern top and bottom layer, the bottom layer has text inset at 0.2mm (see 2nd pic.) which I have had trouble printing in the past, with this filament the adhesion to the bed was excellent and I had no problems printing the single line extrusions with sharp edges, worked first time. The silk effect is stunning and really adds a nice touch to my prints :)The flexi-rex was printed using Prusas own 0.2 quality setting with generic PLA filament setting, again this print turned out great and the silk really adds a nice finish to the print.Overall the colour is brilliant as is the ease of use when using recommended temps (190 - 220 deg. C)I will be trying out the gold soon.

Purchased this for my wife as she was still "on the fence" regarding my 3D printer purchase. She has printed out some stunning Vases and xmas decorations. The filament came well packed, with the spool vaccum packed to prevent any issues. Using the data on the box, I created a "profile" for the filament on my slicer program (Cura) to ensure optimum settings when printing. The sheen on finished items is stunning and well worth the purchase. The filament is excellent quality and the price break for it make it a contender in the huge 3d printing market. I will be purchasing more of this, with the wife already eyeing up the silk bronze colour. Highly recommended and easy to use.This review is my own thoughts and I have not received any payment/concession from supplier in return for a favourable review.

this is a strange PLA! its hard to snap which is good, functional objects if I bend hard tend to deform and bend in two if I use mole grips for force instead of snapping so thats good! and has practicle uses, layer adhesion is maybe the worst I';ve seen, but 215c and 20% cooling helps a bit. the layer adhesion might be a problem if orientation can only be one way. but the tensile strenth is awesome and the finnish looks so good so I still give this 4 stars . I like it.

I've been trying several brands over the just few months with my Flashforge Finder printer. This has to be about the best I've tried, it prints well, sticks to the bed (with the usual later of glue from a stick). I've had very few failed prints, models are printed well with no weak spots.The gold it really bright and glossy too! All in all an excellent purchase.

Got this to make walking stick heads for a show. Now making brackets for a suspended ceiling.A good filament.
