Kehuashina Silk Pla Filament for 3D Printer 1.75mm Filament Diameter (Silk Silver)

There were very few reviews of this product (2 I think) when I decided to give it a try, but the colour of it, from the product photographs at least, looked like just what I wanted, not too yellow and not too dark, so I thought I would give it a go.The filament arrived in a boring plain brown box, but was vacuum sealed inside a re-sealable zip-lock bag. The colour, as I had hoped, is absolutely lovely, what I would call a 'proper' gold colour. The filament looks and feels really nice and has a lovely silky sheen to it, again just what I wanted.One previous review suggested that there had been trouble getting this filament to do a decent print, but I just loaded it into my printer, an i3 Mega, with my usual PLA settings - 210deg extruder and 60deg hotbed - and ran a print off. I could tell within a few minutes that the settings were spot on and the filament was printing like a dream. The colour was absolutely stunning, even my wife commented on how nice it looked.I have now had this filament for a few days and have printed several items with it and every single one has been perfect. The finished prints are smooth and look silky and the prints need very little, if any, cleaning up afterwards.I have had quite a few cheaper filaments (£15-£20 range) and sometimes find that they can be a bit temperamental, producing great prints one day then quite poor ones the following day, even on the same settings (maybe more susceptible to ambient temperature changes?) however this filament has not yet let me down, producing stunning results every time. Maybe the difference in the price of this filament, compared to cheaper filaments, proves the old saying "You get what you pay for"I won't rate this at 5 stars just yet, as I think it needs to be tried with a few more challenging prints first. Additionally, and some may think this a bit picky, but first impressions last, sending this out in a plain brown box, with absolutely no markings/branding etc, looked cheap. Picky? maybe, but that little extra element of product/box design adds to the overall appeal of a more premium priced product. There are other colours available in this range, which I may be tempted to try and hopefully the results will be equally as impressive.

I have Prusa i3 Mk2 and CR10. I've been trying to find a nice quality gold colour filament for a while. Since there are some retraction problems with Fillamentum Gold PLA, I wanted to give a try to this one. It seemed high quality with a nice shine, not cheap, so why not.DON'T!! The retraction and clogging is so random, you won't be able to finish even an half an hour print. I know not every machine is the same, and we all use different settings and slicers etc. I only print with PLA and buy a one with different brand every time with different colours to test if they work or not on default settings (again on different slicers) or one with customised ie retraction settings, temp etc.I paid £30 for this PLA and it will go to recycle, DON'T BUY IT!

I had loads of problems with this filament, especially layer delamination and breakages inside the feeder. It had all the symptoms of filament that had absorbed moisture, even though it was freshly opened and the vacuum seal had been intact, and it was also quite tangled.I managed to get it printing alright-ish first by unwinding & detangling and rewinding by hand as much as I thought I'd need for each print job, then increasing the print temperature to 210 degrees and the feed to 105%. The results were ok but not great. Beautiful colour though, but I'll be trying a different brand next time.

Reading some of the less positive reviews I can assure you that this is a genuine excellent filament... I used a 0.25 Nozzle X with a E3D V6 Gold hot end and printed on an Anycubic mega S. G coded with simplify3D at 200oc and 0.1 layer. The eventual result was quite simply beautiful. This took a lot of adjusting and bother but it was due to my lack of 3D printing expertise and not the filament. So to be succinct a poor workman will always blame his tools. If you are looking for genuine looking gold this is it.

Love this filament. Has a great lustre and isn't too fussy about printing temps. Packaged well. Only critism is the price (a little expensive) but worth it.

great pla works great on my ender 3 with 60c bed and 220c hotendlittle mess and temp tower shows it prints all heats from 190-240c no problem at all

Really nice colour. Much better than a couple of others I've tried (the Eryone from the 3 colour pack was not a patch on this). No issues printing but bed needs to be at least 60C for decent adhesion)

Printed a small figure on my CR-10 and this filament caused no problems. I just used the default settings from Cura and the results looked clean and beautifully shiny.
