Review on HATCHBOX 1.75 Mm Mint PLA 3D Printer Filament, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03Mm, 1 Kg Spool by Ben Rodriguez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Had high hopes, but silk filament is not for me.

The pink color is pretty, even though it doesn't look like the color in the listing photos, but I learned quickly that the "silk" style is just not for me. Reference my photo with two cookie cutter prints side-by-side. The left cutter is made with a "regular" PLA filament (different brand) and is smooth (it is a blush pink which I prefer). The Hatchbox "silk" pink is on the right. Not only did I experience terrible adhesion problems with this filament, but you can see that it showed every little flaw in the print, which seemed to be many with this filament. It even so much as shows the actual cubic pattern of the 3d print right through the cutter. I may give Hatchbox another try, but it won't be the silk.
