Review on 🎨 Silk Pearl PLA Filament by Yousu: Tangle-Free, Glossy Surface for 3D Printing by Michael Clarke

Revainrating 2 out of 5

doesn't look like gold and prints matte

The pictures in the advert looked promising and the product description was well written so I decided to give it a try. I'm always on the lookout for a good "gold" yarn as I have several current projects that use this color. 225 degrees. The color and luster of the filament on the spool looked pretty good, so it was off to the printer. I found that many PLA brands print well at 206-210 degrees and that's where I started. The resulting piece had a matte finish, no glitter or sparkles, and wasn't quite the same color as the filament on the spool. So I tried the whole range of temperatures. I made a total of 8 test prints, starting at 200 degrees and ending at 230 degrees. None of the resulting prints showed a significant difference from the first attempt at 208 degrees shown in the image and changing the print speed. didn't matter either. All were matte/non-glossy and the color was not the same. So it didn't work for me. Not sure why as I can see other reviewers like it. Maybe I have a bad throw, it's hard to say.

Pros
  • 3D printing filament
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
