Review on CCTREE Shiny Silk Teal (Mint Green) PLA 1 by Tony Suggs

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The filament is fine but the spool is terrible

We bought 10kg of this yellow colour. We usually buy other brands, but due to the current shortage of plastic, we buy every brand or color we can get hold of. This is my second purchase from CCTREE and since the last time they have changed their coils. We put 5 spools on 5 printers at the same time, and about 60-70 hours in 4d/980g prints (on each printer), 4 out of 5 printers failed due to bad spool design and filament got stuck. on spool hook. It seems that once the spool is light enough it can wobble and the line of filament going to the printer can snag. We were so annoyed that we simply threw away $100 worth of material. That's never happened to me, and I suspect whoever designed these rolls hasn't printed a day in their life. If you buy this make sure you cut the spools to get rid of the snags before you print.

Pros
  • ♥ CCTREE Shiny Silk PLA: smooth and shiny like silk, no need for polishing, highly detailed printing gives a beautiful finish. CCTREE PLA silk filament brings arts and crafts and 3D designs create a smooth, shiny, silk-like surface that will definitely produce a stunning result!
Cons
  • Big and chunky
