eSUN Silk Metal PLA Filament 1.75mm, Silky Metallic 3D Printer Filament PLA, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.05mm, 1KG Spool (2.2 LBS) 3D Printing Filament for 3D Printers, Silk Silver

Not the most economical, but one of my favourite PLA colours due to its metallic sheen look, which you can see in the picture I have shared. The transition from one colour to another is gradual. If you are looking for higher contrast between colours, you may want to pick a different brand.I am using a Creality Ender 3 V2 and this specific PLA is pretty forgiving and easy to work with. In my case, above 80% success rate.I am working with 210-215C nozzle temperature (at higher temperatures, the material will become too gooey and fail... keep that in mind) and 66C bed temperature. Printing speed between 50-60 mm/s. It has been performing well at different layer heights.

The eSun Silk Metal PLA Filament - while not containing any metal - definitely looks like metal. Maybe the bad reviews regarding the colour all come from a bad batch?It prints really well on an Ender 3 V2 with original Hotend at standard temperatures (200c nozzle and 60c bed) - almost as good as eSUNs PLA+ line. I used it so far to print princess crowns for my daughters and several little items like lens hoods and a vase.I would definitely recommend eSUN Filaments as they are good value for money and do the job.### If my review was helpful to you, please click 'yes', thank you! ###

I have an Ender 3 v2 printer and have tried several different brands and types of filament without a great deal of success.Having brought this I now realise that the filament can make a lot of difference, using this one the models stick to the bed well and the quality of the prints is good. I still have a problem with "stringing" but believe that that's an issue with one (or more) of my print settings.I find that a nozzle temperature of 205 and a bed temp of 60 seems to be the sweet spot on my printer for this filament in case it helps someone.

I've been printing Christmas items for a while now and wanted to get some "gold" filament to make "name tags" and decided to give the eSUN Silk Metal PLA Filament a try!I printed at 205C (the same temperature I print PLA+), it has a flat semi-shiny gold looking surface finish, but overall, I am impressed with the results from this filament.I only bought a small sample as the 1kg spools are out of stock but will purchase a full one once they return to stock!

Why call it metal when there's no metal in it. Some reviews mentioned that this filament wears the extruder. This is nonsense. Unless Amazon sent me the wrong item which I doubt. After doing a little research, I discovered that this filament definitely has no metal in it, it's just a silky finish. Not even close to being as shiny as metal. Over priced and there are cheaper filaments with a better finish out there.

E-Sun is my go to for filament, I have tried many others and there are some other great manufacturers out there, but E-Sun is in my top 3.Prints well, well wound, good bed adhesion, great finish

This is a great brand, sticks well to bed and with basic settings you get great results. I used a 0.4 nozzle. I used this to fix my Tony stark heart as you can see the original snapped. This is a medium print on an ender 3 v2. A bit pitty. But I'm happy with the finish. It's super shiny and almost reflects in the light. I love it. Will definitely buy this brand again.

This is the fifth spool of eSUN filament I have purchased over recent months and have no complaints. It comes well packaged, the colour is accurate and it's a breeze to work with. The only reason I could possibly think of for not buying this brand every time would be if they did not manufacture a specific colour for whatever project I might be working on at the time.For anyone interested; I am using it on an Anycubic Mega X and the results are perfect every time.
