PLA Filament 1.75mm Silk, Geeetech 3D Printer PLA Filament,1.75mm,1kg per Spool… (Silk bronze)

I purchased this Geeetech Gold Silk PLA filament to produce a Stargate themed cosplay hand ornament for a lady who contacted me on Facebook. After that was finished I decided to see the quality the filament could produce so I downloaded the STL for this low-poly vase from thingiverse.The texture and sheen of the finished vase can't really be captured very well, but it looks and feel spectacular. I printed it on my TEVO Tornado at 0.15mm layer height, at 210/60 for the first 3 layers and then 195/40 for the remainder. I sliced it in Cura and used vase mode.The 20CM tall vase took around 4 hours to print.This is the umpteenth reel of Geeetech PLA I've purchased and I've been impressed with all of it.

So, after a good experience with the Geeetech White filament, I thought I'd give something sparklier a try.This is an interesting filament, unlike most I've used it's pretty hard to snap off the reel. It adheres to my Prusa i3 Mk3S smooth PEI bed like nothing I've ever seen - I've taken to cleaning the bed less when using this or it can actually be hard to get parts off! If you just want a PLA to stick to the bed well, buy this and don't bother reading the rest! I really mean it, I've never encountered anything like this in terms of bed adherence.I kept the settings to the Prusa defaults, which I've generally had a lot of luck with, so 60 degrees on the bed and 215 degrees on the hotend.So far I've printed a brush holder, which is nice and shiny, and then thought I'd try some multimaterial prints.The thing about multimaterial prints on the Prusa with the MMU2S, is that it has to repeatedly unload and load the filament into the nozzle. The 2 colour benchy at 0.1mm layers I printed, changed filaments 335 times during the print, the other filament used in it was Geeetech Marble.If a filament is too stringy, too soft, snaps easily, or generally uneven, multimaterial prints like this are an utter nightmare, of failed loads followed by beeping for you to manually intervene.I didn't have a single failed load during this print (or during the star trek bade, but that one was only a few loads). I'm really impressed!And, to cap it all off, like the other Geeetech filaments I've tried, the price on this is definitely right.

This is not my first Geetech filament purchase but its my first purchase of rainbow filament. I've seen some awesome colour change projects and I wanted to be part of that so Geetech was a natural choice of brands to try based on my previous experiences.The filament is wound well and you can see the colour changes through the sides of the filament spool.Along with rainbow filament I've also wanted to try out vase / spiral mode so I thought I'd get both firsts out of the way and print a vase mode vase in rainbow filament.I printed it on my Ender 3 printer and the results are phenomenal. The filament went down as good as any filament I've ever used and looks fantastic.The end result is flawless.I'll definitely be buying more Geetech fillament and more rainbow fillament when this one runs out.*** If you've found this review helpful, please hit the "helpful" button as it makes writing them worth while ***

Im a firm believer in only buying filament over £20, a rule which came about after buying cheap filament and being frustrated for hours on endSo now I make a purpose of only buying stuff over 29Ive bought a couple of Geetech rolls in the past mainly boring black and white, and I wanted something with a wow factor for a present and knew its what i neededStraight from get go with 205 as nozzle temp and 65 at bed, it stuck brilliantly, no issues whatsoeverMade this very crisp vase (though ill admit my extrusion problems were present before and they're not as bad as usual with this filament)I thought it might be glorified yellow but it really is a shiny gold! Really really happy with it!Overall i have had lots of success with Geetech filament, and this is no exception, as far as brands ive tried, this seems to definitely be near the very top alongside FilaprintDecent and affordable!

Every time I come across a new type of filament, I'm amazed, but it is usually quite expensive, so only use it sparingly.First Glow in the dark, then Silver PLA, then Pearl, then PETG, then PVA, then Nylon. But this stuff... WOW. It prints like metal. It is so shiny, layer lines just disappear into the shine.AND IT IS CHEAP. So cheap, that I bought gold, silver and blue. When I finish my current old gold (which is not gold. Silk gold is GOLD), I'm buying the copper.On the spool, it looks slightly dull, but once printed, it changes to amazing.I've said this a lot in the past, but I'm saying it again. I'm only buying Geetech Silk PLA from now on.55C bed, 195-205 nozzle. The cooler you can get it, the shinier it gets.
