Review on Silk Bronze PLA Filament 1 by Johnnie Bowlan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very easy to print with forgiving, high quality prints.

I'm new to 3D printing and just bought an Ender 3 Pro for Christmas. My first few prints left a lot to be desired, lots of faulty prints, filament tracks sticking out etc. By switching to a different brand of floss, tweaking the settings, the results improved significantly. Then my wife asked for something in her favorite purple and I found this thread. I tried it and was amazed. So far I've printed a few test copies and a small box. The results were excellent. This gives this filament a very nice print with a slightly metallic/shimmering appearance and prints easily with minimal changes to the default Ender print settings. I found a bed temp of 62 and a nozzle temp of 210 to be pretty ideal, but I've tried from 50/199 to 70/220 and really couldn't tell much of a difference, which gives you an idea of how forgiving this thread is. In contrast, another fairly established brand used very precise settings, 2 degrees too hot or too cold and the prints were ruined. Very satisfied and will buy it again and in several colors.
