AMOLEN Silk PLA Filament 1.75mm 3D Printer filaments, Shiny Black Blue Filament for 3D Printing, 1kg(2.2lbs) Spool, Compatible with Most FDM Printer(Black Blue)

First impressions when this arrived was good. It was vacuum sealed in a normal filament box with a small set of printing guidelines which is always welcomed.I have used Glow filament before from a different brand so I was able to compare this to see how it held up. It was just as brittle as the other brand but that is down to the make up of glow in the dark filament, this didn't cause an issue when feeding into the printer or when printing.I tested the glow on the reel and it was surprising easy to get a glow from it compared to the other brand I had used, although it was blue which may have a factor?I took a step back to my childhood and printed a moon and stars that would glow in the dark. I remember getting these from a magazine and sticking them to my ceiling.For comparison I printed in this filament and also in the other brand's blue filament. Both held up extremely well, adhesion to my freshly cleaned bed was great and it was easy to remove after cooling down.I tested the glow on these and as you can see I was very happily surprised that they came out so well! Definitely brighter than the other branded blue.Since I had both colours printed I decided to create a scene with them. (@mck.3d on Instagram)Printed using an Ender 3 Pro no upgrades, 200 degree hotend & 60 degree bed.All in all I am very happy with this filament. I had never come accross this brand but it will definitely be on my list of reputable suppliers!

I love this stuff! Usually I buy cheap stuff but I just got a new printer and wanted to have a bit of fun so picked up this selection box to play with. The good and bronze come out really well, lovely smooth prints with a great shine and really hide the layers well. The glow in the dark is great fun and really glows! It again prints really cleanly. The biggest surprise was the marble as it doesn’t look particularly great on the spool but the finished results are really stone like! All were printed with the Prusa mini presets so no tweaking, so I’m guessing with a little fiddling they would be even nicer but out of the box gave great results. If you want to have some fun with more interesting filaments without breaking the bank or potentially having loads of large spools lying around, give these a try!My only slight negative is the small spoils as they wouldn’t fit on my fixed bearing spool holder but luckily I have a “loo roll” type holder too so not a problem but something to be aware of

I originally gave this product a single star after sending the lot back due to badly wound reels, and filament stuck together.I was contacted by Amolen saying that I must have got a bad batch, and sent me a full set free of charge, which I have received.I hasten to say my place of work purchased the original set of reels, so this costs me nothing regardless (some people work for cool employers :-) )I have since tried both the sparkly gold filament and the bronze colour, and they work faultlessly. Very impressed with the sparkly gold. This is the one I really wanted to try.The reels seem to be properly wound this time and are free to move, not sticky/stuck.I have yet to try the marble and the wood, but have checked the reels and they too appear to be good.I will say though the carrier reels (yes they are small as described) could be a tadge larger as the filament tries to hop off the edge. A minor issue given after about 30 minutes of printing the winds are well lower than the reel carrier.So, yes I got free filament, and yes its better than the filament my work purchased for me ... considerably.I like it, a lot so far. I may even for the first time ever post a picture of the finished article.Both customer service and filament ... I would say ... are very Good :-)Love the glittery stuff x

Had been looking for a nice colour swapping filament to make some scale furniture for the daughters toys to give them a bit of unique look.Read some reveiws online and Amolen was in the top 10 for quality and pric so gave it a go.First up, one of the main issues reveiwers had was bed adhesion, Amolen themselves recommend 50c and i've found that to be low for all PLA (for my 6mm glass beds) Ive always used 60c with no issues. Wiped with Sani-Cloth 70% wipes and since it was a long print just a light spray with some extra hold hairspray.Printed beautifully and stuck to the bed with no issues whatsoever. The finish is metalic and shiny, the colour change is gradual and looks fantastic on the Spiral tower model (off thingiverse) that i used as a test print.The print in the pictures was done at 0.1mm layer height with a 0.3mm nozzle at 30mm/s and took 17.5 hours (i shrank it to 100mm tall)

First time I have used a colour changing filament, it is excellent, the filament was wound on to the reel perfectly so had no knotting issues there. But the finish, it is one of those OMG moments, the sheen is stunning. I made and item for someone and I didn't want to give it to them it looks that good. Beautiful. I will be buying more of this.UPDATE! ok, so 6 months ago last year I decided to give 3D printing a rest. An Ender 3 (standard) and this filament. 3 days ago I started 3D printing again. The filament had been sitting on the spool through varying degrees temperature and moistures as my other half uses her tumble dryer in the same room. After some bed levelling. The prints came out perfect! So, do I recomend this filament? Hell Yeah!

Really helped fix my filament with moisture. Had me printing good quality filament again.

I will continue to review every roll of filament I got from this company (I ordered around 10) because it's just simply great. I trust this brand more than any other in my printer! Amazing prints in both durability and looks!

This brand is by far my favorite filament for my 3d printer. I print nonstop, and I have not only the least amount of problems, I just simply love the variety of colors they offer. Red/Black is my favorite so far!

This PLA prints perfectly

My friends and I are just getting into D&D and I thought it'd be really nice to have some tangible items... like coins! This is a great set of PLA with the perfect coin colours.I also used a lot of the gold for my Ghost/Ghoul cosplay (boot emblems, buckles, buttons... etc...).Printed on a Kobra Max, 205 nozzle, 80mms.Love this stuff and will get more if needed!
