Review on Silk Shiny Metallic Silver 3D Printer Filament, Comgrow 3D Printing Materials Silk PLA 1.75Mm 1KG Silk PLA, Widely Compatible For FDM 3D Printer by Johnny Spencer

I normally read reviews before buying, but this time I'm actually glad I didn't.Having ordered this with my first ever 3d printer (Ender 3) I thought the price was right, and having two colors shipped internationally in the same box was important for shipping cost. Little did I know that this isn't the same as the sample filament provided with the printer. Sample filament printed like a charm, without even making an adjustment!So I pop in the white roll first and from the moment it hit the extruder all went South. I learned all about my printer trying to get this filament dialed in. Nozzle clogged - cleared - clogged again. Replaced nozzle, stringy incomplete extruding. Increased temperature, lowered print speed - same result. Even had the extruder gear start bucking (probably gonna upgrade it).After too many hours and much effort wasted, I had an idea to finally install the Creality slicer that came with the printer and a voila there's two PLA settings one for their Ender branded and the other for generic PLA. Settings for Ender PLA used and problem solved.I was eventually able to transpose enough settings from Creality Slicer 1.2.3 to Ultimaker Curer 5.0 to continue with my slicer of choice. Still have some random momentary extruder knocking.
