PLA Filament 1.75mm Silk, GEEETECH 3D Printer PLA Filament,1.75mm,1kg per Spool,Silk Silver

I initial bought this PLA due to the silk copper colour. The filament is supplied vacuum packed and upon opening the reel the plastic is very neatly wound on the reel so no snagging or tangling! The centre of the reel has a much larger diameter than most other reals do, the reel actually sat on the desk, I had to print a hub to go inside to fill up the reel to work in the holders I use, not a disaster, just a niggle but I will save the hub for future Geeetech reels. Purging before printing gave a nice smooth feed with no spitting or popping so I expected good things. I drew out about 5 metres of filament and measured the diameter in several places all within the stated specification. My printer is a 7 year old Aworldnet A600 i3 clone, with an skr1.4 turbo upgrade, 0.4mm nozzle and BL Touch. I used my default settings of bed 60 degrees, extruder 200 degrees and no fan for first 5 layers. First layer was excellent, almost perfect, so I left it alone to print, after some time I returned and it was still printing with no failure and the overall finish looked excellent. Once completed I removed the skull and checked it out in my mini photo booth, the quality of the print, even running with a later height of 0.3mm is excellent. The photos show the object looking very good, but the tactile feel is even better than the looks. It feels great in the hand and the copper finish is much better than I expected. I have had some lovely coloured filaments in the past but sometimes good looking filaments don’t always print well. This filament not only is well priced, it prints excellently and looks gorgeous. I think I may have to find what other amazing colours are available and give them a try too.

I just loved this Copper Silk, its amazing. Received it in a plain card box, great, no paint wasted, very well sealed off, with the silica bag inside. Nothing new, not my first Geeetech PLA and its a standard. Then I open up the sealed bag, hmmm new spool, ligther and with usage marks on its side so we can see how much PLA we still have, nice touch!! Out of the box and in the Spool the Copper Silk color is gorgeous! First print usual XYZ cube, but and sice have been reading on some forums before, I decided to up the temp a little as this was my first silk pla, and changing to 215 on nozzle and keep the 60 on bed the results were great, great adhesion straight on glass bed, then a Marvin come up and again very strong adhesion and fantastic result, so I keep going, and a Calicat was printed...it look so good! Then my wife saw the tests and loved the copper color, and asked me for a vase in that color to put the make up brushes, and the result is a beautiful heart shaped vase, very very smooth finish with such a great look. The smaller one was my first attempt terminated by a power failure at home that took to long to be restored , and even like that still look very good. I 'm completely in love with this PLA, nice price, nicely spooled, no smelly pla, it has a great adhesion, and the color, ohh this color is just amazing.

Colour is fantastic and hard to capture on a phone camera - better than any of the pictures on here. Also recommend concentric top layer for a good sheen. It should be noted that it prints similar to TPU, but at high PLA temps. So you definitely need to put down glue and add some positive z offset, or else it will bond to a glass bedplate (mine chipped off!). I also try to remove the spool ASAP and it can be quite tight coming out when it's still warm. I've run it at 190-195 nozzle, 68 bedplate on Ender 3 V2 and it prints very nicely (I usually do 183, 62 for PLA). It's also slightly "drier" than regular PLA, so it's better to run hot to avoid clogging. Note: colour is slightly less orange than the photos

Ok, this is Silk Gold from Geetech it has a very shiney and vibrant gold colour off the reel,good consistanct diameter over 150CM,well packaged (in a vacum seal bag with incandescent bag) Print settings MK8 extruder with a Ultrabase Glass bed and Glue stick: Nozzle: 193C Bed: 55C Flow: 96% Cooling: 30-90% prints great,smooth with little artifacts in comparison to other filiments i have used. there was minimal setup for a first print other than the usual you should be doing with all new roles (temp tower,speed test,flow rate) all pictures posted are of prints that were done straight after each other with the above calibration and a glue stick on a glass bed. theres no adhesion issues but i always use a glue stick and run a fucll filiment calibration on new rolls. Layers are strong and bonded and with the temp test tower you can see it prints bridges very well colour is vibrant with reddish undertones and a shiney finish (after printing its slightly dull but a "heat seal" with a heat gun or lick with a blow tourch brings the shine right back,just like PETG) i would very much recomend this filiment if your printing something yellow or gold to catch the eye,and just for general printing. yes take note of the negitive reviews also but also remember that calibration or your print settings and printer is almost 80% of the adhesion and print quality battle.

Just opened this. Started a nine hour print and the filament is wound on badly. It's CRITICAL that filament is wound on correctly and quality control is 100%. SO, I SIT AND WATCH THIS PRINTING FOR NINE HOURS AND TRY TO UNTANGLE AS I GO OR....I BIN THE WHOLE REEL. ---------------> YES...IT'S GOING IN THE BIN. I will absolutely avoid buying any more filament Geetech

Good Quality Filament

Easily the best 'real gold' filament I've tried. Prints really nice and actually has the gold colour down nicely. Other gold colour filaments I've tried are nowhere near as real as this one.

I bought the Geeetech silk black filament to tinker with and learn the ins and outs of 3D printing on. After several printing attempts now,I feel I have enough experience with this filament to provide a reasonably fair and accurate review. I just got my first 3D printer about a week ago,so perhaps my experience is an anomaly. First,the good things about the filament. It sticks to the bed VERY well once you get the bed and nozzle temps right. It also looks pretty good color and shine-wise. The price is also ok. Unfortunately,nearly everything from there is downhill. It sticks TOO well to a PEI bed. As in,you'll never get it off. I discovered this with my first print using this filament. My bed was leveled and the temps were in the normal range of 200 nozzle/60 bed. My first test print the day before using the filament included with the Ender 3 came out BEAUTIFULLY,like textbook perfect print. This is how I know that my bed was level,my nozzle wasn't clogged,and my temperatures were not set at weird crazy levels. I printed a small object just to test the filament out and tinker with the machine. The first layer went down beautifully. Ok,I thought,we're off to the races. After that,none of the layers seemed to want to stick to each other. I let the print run,figuring that it was a one-off and I'd do a post-mortem and dial in my settings later. After trying in vain to free my first print using the Geeetech filament and gouging my bed up,I figured out that if you heat the bed to 80 degrees,you can scrape the print off,leaving copious amounts of residue behind. Whatever,I figured. I am new to 3D printing,I probably didn't know what I was doing,so I tried again after slicing my object to run at a higher nozzle and bed temp and running the machine about 20% slower. It was better,but the layers delaminated again,halfway through and then my nozzle clogged partway into the print,so I had to stop it,and again gouge this filament off my bed at 80 degrees,again leaving copious amounts of residue behind. This time I decided to try to print a completely different object,running the settings from the ground up to be compatible with what I thought I had discovered about this filament. Again,layer delamination,clogged nozzle,and residue on my bed. Then I leveled my bed again at 80 degrees and tried again with a bigger version of the same object and got the same exact issues. Now my PEI bed is basically ruined and I'm also having nozzle issues and I don't have one successful print to show for it. Maybe I'm still doing something wrong,but I don't think so. I personally would not buy this filament again. If there is some secret combination of settings or hardware that makes this filament print perfectly and then come off the bed easily,I don't think the plastic itself is good enough to spend the time and money on beds and nozzles to figure out what it is.

PLAの一般的な設定で出力しましたが、詰まりも起きず綺麗に造形できました。 価格の割には、とても質の良いフィラメントでした。

発色も良くとても綺麗に印刷できます。 写真の設定温度は１９５℃にて印刷したものです。 参考になれば幸いです。

230 grader på nålen och 50 på plattan, bra kalitet på filamenten.

Nice filament.

No tiene stringing, si la tienes bien calibrada, el acabado es una pasada en 0,16 probaré en 0,08, el acabado será espectacular los voladizos son perfectos, volveré a comprar más filamentos de esta marca, estoy encantado
