Review on ๐Ÿ”ท Sapphire TTYT3D Filament for Advanced 3D Printing by Jerry Frey

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Proven filament with good color

First people asked if there was metal (or even gold) in the thread. no (Really $22 a roll?) It was sealed very well in a thick pouch with the air removed. The bag is not reusable. They also included samples of all their "Silk" threads, about 2-3 meters long, and some nozzle cleaners. The kit also includes a card telling you to contact them directly if you have a problem. It's bright and shiny in a roll. It's not as shiny as on the reel but is a nice golden color with some shine. The coil sticker recommends the pressure at 200-220. I ran the temp tower (with the fan off) from 220 to 180 degrees. The color is stable over the entire temperature range, with better hiding power at around 200ยฐC. I printed several objects at 205ยฐC without jamming, excellent print quality, very good layer adhesion (Magigoo on glass at 65ยฐC) and color stability. I used CC3D silk thread and was satisfied. I was about to order CC3D silk gold when I saw this brand I thought I'd give it a try. I'm happy with what I've done. At $22 a roll, that's a great deal. I have ordered several TTYT3D threads and am happy with all of them. The last one I bought was rose gold. It is exactly the same color as you see in the photos and it has a nice name. I've just ordered a blue silk roll and I'm sure I'll be happy with it too. I highly recommend this yarn line. Also, I'm glad they include thread examples. "Bronze" is definitely dark green. I think they are targeting the green color on the bronze, not the bronze itself. But the blue silk pattern is fine. I just ordered a roll.
