Reddit reviews Silk Silver PLA 1.75mm 3D Printer Filament 1KG (2.2LBS) Printing Materials Silky Shiny PLA Metal Silver Like CC3D

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)

Copper

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

Here are some higher resolution images of some of these filaments

Poly Alchemy Night Shade (stunning and dark)

Elixr is NOT CHEAP $30 for 750 grams or something like that. (its around $50 a kilo)

in the US Printedsolid.com sells it.

As you might be able to tell I REALLY like these plastics :-)

$25 very reasonable. This part will be done printing in about 7 hours or so. I will get a nice video when it’s done printing it’s kinda hard with it moving around

I think they mean "silk" filaments such as this: https://www.amazon.com/Silk-Silver-Filament-Printting-Materials/dp/B06XSBFB17

One spool is probably plenty for what you have described. Hate to disagree on the silver, but I've printed the Solutech silver and I like this better. The CC3D silk PLA is really good.

CC3D Silk Silver might work. I haven't used it, but I've used their Silk Copper, and it's pretty convincing.

haven’t printed yet, but i’m probably going to use the CC3D Silk Silver PLA on the Ender 3. We’ll see how it turns out, I’ll be sure to post a make.
