Review on ๐ŸŽจ Silk Pearl PLA Filament by Yousu: Tangle-Free, Glossy Surface for 3D Printing by Ken Reed

Revainrating 4 out of 5

So beautiful, so cheap.

Great value! I'm new to 3D printing so I haven't used a ton of filament to be able to compare them, but I haven't had any issues printing long and large prints so far. One thing I noticed is that this filament likes higher tip temperatures than a hatchbox when splicing or filling. I've had good results at 200ยฐC, but it would probably be better at 205-210ยฐC. First coat adhesion was excellent. I haven't made detailed heavy models, but as far as filler goes, the burn is good to negligible. However, the main reason I got it is the color. THIS IS INCREDIBLY GORGEOUS! So shiny! The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is that they are quite fragile on the reel. Any kinks/bends easily turn into a broken piece of thread that you can't use. So overall a good thread for the price. Just turn on a higher nozzle temperature and make sure your bed is nice and sticky.

Pros
  • 3D printing consumables
Cons
  • Available in white only
