Silk Green PLA Satin Shiny 3D Printer Filament, 1.75mm Diameter 1kg Spool 2.2lbs for FDM 3D Printers

Why do you not have this product. It took me a while to get through it but now I'm out of luck.Ive tried like 7 different brands of this stuff, and they all suck at glowing in the dark. I make camping gear out of it, the other are also either really cheap pla or this had some sort of strength from whatever they used for the glow in the dark effect definitely made it able to support more tensile weight.

Printed very well using P1S combo at 220 as advised by label on spool. However, this is not as white as I expected. It is off white / cream colored and has a nice sheen and but not as shiny as other silk PLA. Also, a bit translucent, so recommend increasing layer walls and infill if you want to decrease that effect. I used 2 and 12%. Not quite what I was looking for but 5 stars for ease of printing and overall quality of the print.

I've used a few rolls of the DO3D silks in other colors and had excellent results. I particularly like the two-tone silks DO3D sells, finding them to print exceptionally well and have bright colors.This roll of Coffee Brown is a different story. There are several other user reviews with the same experience as mine. It simply will not get through a print without getting stuck. It's almost like there's a hard spot that won't melt correctly when it gets to the hot end. It will be printing fine then suddenly it can't extrude, you can hear the gears grind the filament flat as it tried to extrude. If you hit the end that didn't melt with a heat gun it doesn't behave like the same as the good areas.I was concerned it was my printer, and figured the nozzle must now be partially clogged, so I put on a new nozzle and tried the same file with a different filament, the 36 hour print had no trouble. I put this DO3D coffee filament back in and it failed in 2 hours. It appears that I got a roll of defective filament.I'm certainly nervous to buy another roll of the DO3D brand filament. This cost a lot of time and I suppose I'm stuck with half a roll of bad filament. I can no longer recommend DO3D silk PLA when people are looking for specific colors. Which is too bad, I've had a good experience with their pla in the past.

This filament prints well. It is easy to load and works well in my 3D printer. The colors are not as bright as shown, however. You can almost not tell the different between the different colors at all. Even after soaking in light for a very long time. So basically these are all matte white prints with a hint of color in the dark. They do glow, but it is not vibrant like the photo. I did love the rainbow that doesn't glow. That one produced very pretty prints with nice color variations. Overall, the cost was decent and the prints produced are good quality. I would recommend, but don't expect high color. It just won't happen.

4th spool I've bought. Amazing color

The media could not be loaded. Looks great. A little on the lighter green side. The video shows the exact color it is. I don’t recommend setting it at the max heat. As you can see my print got very stringy. After looking it up, I realized it was because the tempt was too high, so I had to really play around a lot with the temps and it seems that 226 is truly the sweet spot for this filament. 225 it was too hard and jamming up at the nozzle and 227 was still leaving strings behind. As you can see in the video, a lot of the too high heat left lots of strings but that’s all inside the dragon egg so I’m not worried about it.

Current Setup - Ender 3, standard hotend, dual gear extruder with Bowden tubes, magnetic removable bedplate.The configuration above works well. Using the default single gear Bowden tube setup on the Ender 3 would cause the filament to compress and then bind up in the hot-end and cause constant extruder skipping. There wasn't a method to adjust the extruder spring compression I could find and I ended up with a 90% print failure rate. I went through all the trouble shooting I could find online, and the only thing left had to be this material is somehow being compressed with the stock, single gear Ender 3 extruder and then not melting properly in the hot end.After switching to a dual-gear extruder, the filament flow is consistent and I've had zero issues after 10 hours of printing.The coloring is very pleasing to the eye and has minimal stringing. Print temps have worked in the 210-220C range with good success. Bed adhesion has been really good provided you've got a leveled bed and really zeroed in your z-offset.I'm giving this a 3/5 because I was forced to go through multiple days of trial and error, dozens of failed prints with stock parts, forced to take apart my printer multiple times to remove filament plugs that built up, and ultimately purchase a new extruder + motor with extended shaft to get this material to print properly.
