Review on πŸ”΄ CCTREE Shiny Silk PLA Red 1.75mm by Mike Campbell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It doesn't look like titanium. Or metal.

If you think this is great for making parts that look like metal, you're searching for the wrong material. Don't get me wrong, this is a great general purpose material, but it doesn't come close to being metal, and if you buy it with the idea that you can make parts that look like real metal for your build, you will be very disappointed. It looks like regular gray PLA with a little bit of shine, that's all, but it basically just looks like plastic. There are other silk polylactides that have a magical metal-like effect. This isn't one of them. For some reason it also won't go through a damn jet below 230C, EVEN. I've never seen a silk PLA with requirements like this and went through a couple of jet jams before figuring it out.

Pros
  • Durable Finish
Cons
  • High Price
