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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Pink has no strength

I have tried all sorts of settings, and even at 215C with 45% infill and 8 walls of thickness everything comes out brittle and airy. If I lighten up the settings a bit, it just doesn't have any layer adhesion at all. If you beef up all the settings you can get it to print, but don't expect anything that can be played with by kids. It is just going to be something that sits on a shelf.It is funny, because one of my favorite PLA filaments is Hatchbox's orange filament, which just makes everything perfect with it at 200C and 5% infill and 2 walls - basically nothing - and it comes out way stronger than this stuff.I have some other companies rainbow filament that is shiny the way this pink filament is and it is similarly fickle. Maybe there is something about shiny filament that makes it just not work out.

Pros
  • The Hatchbox Silver Silk PLA filament comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If for any reason you aren't satisfied, you can get a full refund
Cons
  • May be more expensive than other similar filaments
