This was printed on my Ender 3 pro at .16 mm layer height.
The model is the T-Rex skull from MakerBot: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:308335
The filament used is Silk Gold PLA from CC3D: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XRPYXP2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_QFsCDbK11H8N8
SILK PLA is amazing. it DOES have serious issues. the stuff is crazy strong but very very poorly sticks to itself (brittle layer adhesion) Print it hot 220c higher if the plastic behaves for you.
so thin parts? forget it. your not likely to get it off the bed without cracking it (use ultra base)
and even 3 perimeter 25% infill grid parts can "snap" if the nozzles catches an edge (broke my adalinda dragon a few times) and if you drop it it will break.
BUT the results are simply stunning.
Here are some links (gold is not in stock that I can find right now) these are direct non affiliate links. if you want to help me out goto todays3dprint.com and use any of the links their (and then these links) but you don't have to.
Silver (I have not tried this one but they all print the same)

if this one was prime I would be ordering one as it looks VERY nice.
These from 3d Solutech are dirt cheap and some of my favorites! I have printed with all of them except the lavendar. I have it just have not used it yet in a print.
They call them "ultra pla"

again. its a PAIN IN THE ASS filament but damn are the results incredible. worth the suffering :-)
again the links are "clear" direct links. if you want to help me visit one of the links to amazon in my videos first which will help me out. or use the direct links here if not.
in general search for "ultra" or "silk" PLA.
Poly Alchemy ALSO makes some disgustingly gorgeous SILK PLA's !! check out Night Shade and Night Sky in particular to be truly awestruck with the beauty of these filaments

As you might be able to tell I REALLY like these plastics :-)
It was this from amazon!

If you haven't printed one yet you must! It's the best 3D model to use as your first print. Maybe the best 3D model ever! I know this because I'm the world's foremost expert on the Low-Poly Rose Twist Vase (<serious voice> <important-looking nod>) :D
BTW: I have no affiliation with that filament manufacturer. I do love that stuff though (gone through five spools of it now I think)! The silver is pretty good too.
Yeah, I was actually surprised at how good the color turned out. Here’s what I used:

In the comments from the link he said he used this gold filament:
https://www.amazon.com/Filament-Printing-Material-CC3D-Metallic/dp/B06XRPYXP2?th=1
Metal Squin Mesh Fabric, very complicated manufacturing process

There are several people on this sub 3D printing on to fabric. Something similar to this might be possible, 1 mm by 1 mm by 0.5mm cubes separated by 0.2mm, using gold 3D printing filament on the underlying cloth.

A few weeks ago, u/mrdead113 posted an amazing vase design, printed in a silk gold PLA: https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/ane711/monochromatic_vase_in_gold_silk/
&#x200B;
It looked so good that I bought some silk gold PLA too (a different brand: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06XRPYXP2/) and printed the same vase design at 440mm tall on my MakerBot Z18.
&#x200B;
(Note: I don't recommend MakerBot devices, it's just the biggest printer I have)
Silk Gold 3D Printer PLA Filament... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XRPYXP2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share this stuff is pretty good but make sure you use it right or you will end up like me...
Looks like it's painted. If you zoom in you can see the engine intakes and the missile bay on the back are white. There is gold filament that looks pretty nice though.

I haven't tried it myself, but this Gold Silk PLA has gotten good reviews and I've seen people post some really beautiful prints made with it.

Printed on an Ender 3 using Silk Gold PLA and placed on a box above an oil diffuser.
^^^^^^^^PHXtourPlz
This is a model I found and printed for a friend with this new gold filament that I purchased it came out really well aside from the fact that I printed at .2 layers and not .1 or lower layers like I meant to.

Try Gold filament :)
example
I just saw some people print with CC3D Silk Gold that looked freakin amazing.
Best I’ve used so far is Amazon Basics Wood, but the CC3D Silk Metal series is on my to-do list.
This is the gold PLA I used:

Thanks! I printed it in this generic silk gold PLA.
Well a spool of gold filament costs about $25, I'd charge about $20 to print it, and maybe $6 to ship it. Just so you know this thing is pretty large.....about 3 ft long (after assembled).
it's this filament: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XRPYXP2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

Here you go!
No examples (because I'm at work), but I just unpacked my spool of this:
https://www.amazon.com/Filament-Silk-Gold-Printing-Material/dp/B06XRPYXP2
Based on the box markings, and the same cardboard filament stop, I think it's made in the exact same plant as this Kehuashina filament: https://www.amazon.com/Kehuashina-Filament-Printer-1-75mm-Diameter/dp/B07Q5P9XWS
Prints very VERY well on clean glass. The finish is amazing... pearlecent golden color, just like the example pictures.
Ender 3 Pro, 0.4mm tip with 205C hotend, 75C bed (lowering to 50C after first layer).
I've been experimenting with adjusting my designs to try and print only in "vase mode" (continuous Z-axis shift) to avoid the z-seam. Which is more noticeable on any "silk" type filaments.
But...
You gotta keep it dry. I have a eSun eBox dehumidifier, which I ran for 6 hours before trying to print anything beyond Mr Benchy... my print-bed was measuring 47% humidity this morning due to the non-stop rain. :'(
