The problem I have had is the layer adhesion. My mistake was that I didn't think to check the layer adhesion until after I had used most of the roll. Now I have to start over with a different filament. I do like the color, but it is only good for things that will only sit on a shelf.

I don't usually have a problem with Hatchbox Silk PLA, but I ended up returning this because of the stringing, webbing that I was experiencing. This did not happen with the other PLA that I had been using. This one must have been a fluke.

I did a test print at 205C and found that to be the right temp for me. Did a print and it came out beautiful 🤘🤘 That's my review!

This material works perfectly fine and looks like a actual pearl as it is more off-white than bright white. The only issue I found is that layer adhesion is not great. Would not use for mechanical parts and I bump up the hotend temp to help with adhesion.

i've tried a number of silk filaments from other manufactures and had issues with clogs or quality. this silk filament from hatchbox prints as well as any of their basic PLA filaments.

This filament performs well. I had to make a slight adjustment and increase my retraction speeds to reduce stringing but overall it's been performing really well. It has a shiny quality to it that's not quite pearlescent or metallic. Makes me want to try the rest of the colors in this line.

I was really impressed with how my prints have turned out with this filament. My first print was a cat skull for a presentation, and it looked great. The silky sheen was beautiful.The only downside is that a white filament should be white, not vanilla ivory.

I love my hatchbox but shopping with this store has been consistently iffy. Sending the wrong product costing me weeks on projects. Constantly pushing back shipping and delivery dated with no notice or explaination. It gets a little tiresome, otherwise hatchbox easily gets a 4 or 5 on its own merits, excellent filament.

I was looking for a pearlescent pink for a special project and this is exactly the pink I was looking for.This comes out of the printer as a bubble-gum pink with a "mother of pearl" sheen to it. Prints clean with standard PLA settings (190C Hotend ; Bed Optional).

I am having problems printing with the Hatchbox Gold. I have never had any issues with any Hatchbox before, but this gold is not printing well. I am still adjusting temperatures and I am getting OK prints, but not what I expect. I hope I can figure out just the right settings.

Beautiful filament that prints easily!I purchased the silk mint color PLA and it prints better than other filament I have used so far. I will definitely buy from hatchbox again!

This one looks dull until you print with it, but printed is glossy and metalic. It mostly prints 100% like the rest of the amazon-basics PLA, but it has slightly more tendency to warp. The resulting prints seems just as strong as any other PLA. Pictured is thing:2311870, no post-processing other than removing support.

I bought this to print a mondoshawan figure (from the fifth element). I found it very easy to work with. It handles overhangs fairly well, minimal stringing, and you can get a different shine depending on how hot you print it. I've run through half the spool and have not encountered any clogs. I run all my prints through a temp tower test before printing. If I'm finding challenges with overhangs or stringing I will run retraction tower tests and overhang tests but neither were a problem for…

I was very excited to try this color but found that it printed almost white. However, as the print grew, the color deepened a bit. The silk effect makes the color a bit shallow at certain angles (as shown in the photos). I didn’t except the effect to be so severe based on the promotional photos. It’s an okay color, and the PLA printed well like my other Hatchbox purchases.

This brand is my #1 to use. It works the best for me. As you can see how some of the other options are out of stock, it's because this is one of the better brands and a good value. The gold looks great as well as you can see from my picture.
