Review on HATCHBOX 1.75Mm Silver Silk PLA 3D Printer Filament - Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03Mm, 1Kg Spool by Tim Thornton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Is it brittle? for my opinion

I've used Hatchbox for a couple of years now and love the results. This one, however; the silk silver PLA might just be more brittle than the other colors. I'm still making this 5 stars, but if you have a model with a small "neck" it might be more brittle than other colors (both black and white Hatchbox filament have been workhorses for me). I could not get a particular piece to print with any strength in this filament when compared to the black or white, even after 5 tries with different printer settings. It just broke when in use.Printer: Creality CR-10 SmartTemps 200/60 C (same as for both the black and white)I would love to hear from you about adjustments to the settings that will make this filament work as well for strength as the other colors.Thank you for reading this review, and thanks for commenting.

Pros
  • The filament's smooth finish makes it a great choice for printing toys and action figures
Cons
  • May require frequent calibration to maintain accuracy
