Nice looking prints. not the easiest filament to use

I found this filament produced a very nice glossy print once ejected. However, printing on it was much more difficult than on many other filaments. I had to increase the temperature to 220°C and lower the print speed to 2000mm/min in 0.1mm layers to ensure smooth extrusion. I swapped it out for a different material and went back to more normal settings with no issues, so it looks like the material is the problem.

Pros
  • Built in spool sensor shows percentage of material remaining and approximate length remaining
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

More of a matte gold than a shiny gold but still a nice color and a smaller size for realism.

I just bought my first 3D printer and it's a Creality V2 and I didn't know there were different size filaments, 1.75 and I think 2.75 was another I bought three colors and this was the only one that was really right. It seems to be working fine, but I'm pretty sure I have some custom air on my printer that I need to work on to get it right and balanced or something like that. It's kind of a pain putting it together.

Pros
  • Designed to reduce congestion; Resealable storage bag included to protect the filament between uses
Cons
  • Some little things

Crashed right away. Wouldn't recommend it.

The first print clogged the printer shortly after applying the first layer. I cleaned it and tried to print again and it clogged again after the first layer. I've printed with several other brands of filament (Giantarm, Hatchbox, Sunlu) but this was my first Revain filament. I had no problems with other silk threads like this one. I also had no further problems after that when switching to other threads with the same settings. I do not recommend. In case anyone is interested, I use Prusa Mini+.

Pros
  • Dimensions 9.2 x 8.3 x 3 inches (L x W x H); weighs 2.2 pounds; Backed by Amazon Basics 1 year limited warranty
Cons
  • Not as thick as other models
