Review on SainSmart Silk PLA Filament: Enhanced Additive Manufacturing Products by Lild Zimmerly

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's worth paying a little more if you can afford it

Excellent thread! It's a bit more expensive than I'm used to, but prints way better than some of my other brands/colors, lustrous silk, and the roll is packaged immaculately! - Excellent adhesion - Smooth print quality - Beautiful colour/finish - Perfectly packaged/tangle free The printer is a Geeetech A10 (all standard parts) with a super glass platen. Settings Used: Hot End = 200s Heated Bed = 60s Print Speed = 50mm/s (max 60) Adhesive = None * I sometimes use a support pad when making an important large print that can peel and warp when the layers themselves temperature changes. *I highly recommend using the Gizmo Dorks PEI bed layer (I think that's what it's called), I just started using this yesterday and it makes everything perfectly tacky and creates a smooth glass on every print.

Pros
  • Made of high quality material in a dry and dust free environment, this filament is free from impurities and bubbles; The vacuum sealed packaging also keeps the filament free from any form of moisture or air.
Cons
  • Slightly broken
