AMOLEN Silk PLA 3D Printer Filament, Silk Dual Color Red Black PLA Filament 1.75mm, Shiny Coextrusion PLA Filament, Color Change 3D Printing Filament 1KG/2.2lb

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Holiday Filament – Perfect Candy Cane / Christmas Look (4 out of 5) Beautiful Holiday Filament – Perfect Candy Cane / Christmas Look The AMOLEN Silk PLA Shiny Multicolor Christmas Rainbow Filament produces a really nice, cool candy cane–style finish, making it an excellent choice for holiday and Christmas-themed prints. The color transitions are vibrant and glossy, and the silk finish gives prints a premium, eye-catching look straight off the printer. The filament is well packaged and clearly labeled, and we’ve found it to print smooth and clean with good layer adhesion and consistent extrusion. It performs well on standard PLA profiles with minimal tuning and delivers reliable results, even on more decorative models where appearance matters most. That said, there are a few downsides: The price per 1 kg roll is quite high, which makes it harder to justify for large production runs. It goes out of stock frequently, and maintaining par levels can be challenging—both through Amazon supply and when sourcing directly from the manufacturer. Sales and discounts are rare, and it almost never drops in price. Despite these limitations, this filament really shines for specialty and seasonal prints. We don’t use it for everyday production due to cost and availability, but for holiday décor, gifts, and festive prints, it’s a standout option. Overall, we really like this filament and will continue to use it—especially when we want that distinctive Christmas candy cane aesthetic that turns heads.

I actually ordered set A, but I was sent B instead. There was some sort of goof up at Amazon because of low stock on A. I was not too bothered since I was interested in getting some GitD Blue filament, and the Tri Color Change Lava sounded interesting. First thing's first. You have to get your slicer settings right for these filaments. My attached photo shows temperature towers going from 220C to 180C, bottom to top. Left-to-right are the Tri Color, GitD Blue, GitD Green, and Marble. I had a lot of stringiness above 210C. The odd waves seen in the picture at higher temperatures are partly an artifact of Octoprint going back to the center for photos, so ignore that. The TriColor had some serious issues when it got too cold, but 200C seems to be right for my Prusa i3 MK2S. Also, I measured all the filament with calipers, and they seem to be 1.71mm. After changing this in PrusaSlicer, it looks like my prints are coming out much better. I like the fact that these come in smaller spools, especially for what I would consider novelty colors. I am not a frequent printer, so I don't go through large quantities. Regarding the GitD Blue, you need to manage your expectations. GitD Blue glows much dimmer than Green. I knew this ahead of time. Still, it is a pretty blue glow. Regarding the GitD Green, I suspect it is using zinc sulfide as the phosphorescent pigment. It makes a good green color. I have a GitD Green from another manufacturer that glows brighter and has a slight bluish tinge (probably strontium aluminate for the pigment). The difference could also be due to the amount of pigment present, but that is something I cannot measure. Anyhow, more GitD pigment also means that you might be ruining your brass nozzle quicker (there are a number of YouTube videos about this). I made a crystal print using this filament (time-lapse video attached) with a bright UV LED to keep it charged up, and it looks pretty cool. Print was clean. Marble ... I don't know how much of this I will use, but it printed fine. I was getting the set mostly for the other spools, but it is good to have this in my back pocket in case I want it. Like most "marble" filaments, it is more of a flecked/peppered look as opposed to swirly marble. The Tri Color Lava is pretty neat. The darkest it gets is a sooty charcoal. Watching the color gradient during a print is fun. I have made some geometric puzzles with this filament, and it is fun watching the colors change as it takes people a while to solve them. I suspect this is made using overlapping dark-to-light and orange-to-yellow pigments. It takes a fair bit of heat to get into the full orange range and even more to get to yellow. I am thinking this would be a great filament for electronics cases (especially for something like a Raspberry Pi 4) to watch for hot spots. Update: Added photo of what I suggested. I designed a RPi4 case (you can find it at prusaprinters model repository) and used the lava filament. Under load, the CPU was registering 64C. The transition to yellow was somewhere around 54C. You can clearly see the hot spots with this filament, which is pretty cool (hot?). This helped me design some better ventilation.

Awesome filament. It takes a little tinkering at first and I 100% recommend using a glue stick on your build plate. This is the only silk that I’ve used so far that has really required a glue stick but if you’re having issues with adhesion definitely do that. Beautiful colors.

Very nice color combo that made some nice prints AFTER I adjusted the temps. For PLA this came labeled with Temps from 220-250. I ran my first print at 225 and it was a stringy mess. Dropped the temp to 205 and had zero issues. Good Filament. Bad labeling.

I’ve tried a lot of filaments, but this AMOLEN dual-color silk PLA really stands out. The red and gold blend looks absolutely gorgeous — it gives every print a premium, metallic look without any extra painting or polishing. The color shift changes beautifully depending on the light and angle, which makes models look dynamic and professional. Printing performance was excellent too. It fed smoothly, no tangles, and stuck well to the bed with minimal stringing. I didn’t have to tweak my normal PLA settings much — just slightly lowered the temperature for that perfect silky shine.

Arrotolato malissimo purtroppo....oltre che mi ha intasato 2 ugelli.....
