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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Lots of warping/shrinkage

The filament has some really unusually material properties, it’s a surprisingly stretchy and seems to have an very high surface tension, which leads to warping and shrinking. My extruder gears struggled to extrude it even after I raised up the nozzle temp significantly above the manufacturers spec or the normal range for PLA. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because the color is really quite beautiful and if you can get this filament to work I bet the finished parts would look amazing. As for me, however, it’s not worth the hassle.
