Lovoon

This isn't my first LOVOON filament, and it definitely won't be my last. I enjoy rainbow gradient filaments - they can create effects that are hard to achieve even with solid colors and AMS.

It fits well in the Bambu AMS. Some of my printers are in the garage, and it's pretty cold now. But despite that, the first test without preparations print of an octopus was fine, with no major issues. The octopus looks lifelike with hints of vibrant colors. Good brand, a good filament.

This filament gave me no trouble on a Bambu Lab A1. It's compatible with the AMS Lite, which is a big plus. Looks really cool as long as what you're printing uses enough filament to go through the changes. Feels like it's a bit more expensive than similar options.

This gold-red-purple silk filament works great. It's a beautiful color, with vivid red and gold. Plus, the color changes with any small change in lighting. It prints great right out of the box - no drying or tuning required. Using the recommended 205C nozzle temperature, there is zero stringing. And, the bed adhesion is good, too (at 60C). Often times, these silk filaments can be difficult to use, but this one was incredibly simple. All I had to do was a basic calibration. Out of curiosity, I ran it through the volumetric flow test, and I was surprised to see that it could handle 19.0 mm³/s, which is very impressive as the stock silk profile is 7.5 mm³/s. The example in the pic was done at 19 mm³/s, too.

Nice macaron rainbow colors, silky finish and good color transitions without huge prints. I was able to get the blue-pink-yellow transition pictured with 64 grams. I still need to reduce flow a little more, but initial dial-in was easy on my Bambu A1. Didn't have any issues with bed or layer adhesion. I've used a few other Lovoon PLAs and always get good results and this one is no different. Enjoying it and would recommend it.

The filament arrived well packed vacuumed sealed against moisture. it has a card board reel so can be recycled. I really like how well the filament was wound - when I released the end it did not unspool and stayed put. I test printed it on mu A1 mini to created a test fabric and the print had a lot of stringing. I'm sure with some adjustments to the printer the filament will print fine. As you can see the print surface isa nice glossy light tomato red. Good filament and good shimmery color!

I print a lot of different filaments and this Lovoon silk pla prints as easily as any other I use with stock bambu A1 Mini generic silk pla profile, no changes needed at all. In the attached photo I used this filament to print the greenish fidget toy in the lower righthand of the picture. No adhesion issues, no stringing, overhangs came out great, just all around easy to print with.

Nice filament, I like it a lot. This filament gave me no issues with printing at all. No clogs, jams or tangles. Adhesion was good even on a smooth, diamond patterned build plate. Very well wound as well.

Highly recommended.

An absolutely solid Tricolor silk with near tin-like shine. In my top three favorite shiny silks in one of my favorite color combinations especially when the RGB blends to form rainbow transitions. It held up to speed well, producing uniform shine from large layers to small. Hardly any filament twisting, at least as far as my small prints show. So no colors where they shouldn't be.

As far as adhesion, ease of printing, shininess, and color blend it's really up there, close to my ideal. This was just on default Silk PLA settings on a P1S, full enclosed, in a very cold environment. I might have to tune it to see if I can get some really spectacular results as print temperature can affect shiny silks.

I've gone through a lot of silk PLA and a lot of them have similar color gradients but this one has a particular one that kind of reminds me of the ocean.

Adhesion was perfect, it took me very little time to dial it in and I didn't get any stringing on a 0.6mm nozzle. With silk on a nozzle that large, I didn't really expect precision, but the annoying gift box with 70 plus screws went together without issue. I also like that the roll is not very wide so I don't have trouble storing it or fitting it in my filament dryer.

This print was done on an enclosure housed Prusa i3 Mk4S with .4 standard flow E3D ObXidian nozzle. @220C. 0.15 Structured layer/speed profile sliced in Prusaslicer 2.9.0. No adhesion, brim or supports. This model is a Helix catchall bowl at 50% (not my design). 5-star silk at a good value price point.

Some silks can really make a simple print look spectacular. I didn't get to all blue/green/gold/purple in this print, but the color is certainly striking and one of my favorites for its refined look. The gradient change in this rainbow is very gradual, so keep that in mind when printing smaller or shorter parts. I tend to like to print silks hot, so I removed this from its vacuum bag and just set it to a 220C silk filament profile. There was no stringing at all in the detail work on the sides and the top and bottom layers look perfectly finished. I didn't dry this at all, and it looks this good. Of course, now that it is opened, I'll have to dry it before next use.

Looking at the spool itself -- it's obvious that LOVOON has invested in a quality process that continues to the excellent spooling wind. I've included a picture for reference. This should be the standard for all manufacturers to provide this even winding -- Very nicely done, Lovoon.

I got a chance to test this 1 kg spool of silk rainbow PLA from Lovoon. I haven't used their stuff before, but I really enjoy silk filaments--especially color changing ones.

I did my usual test prints to check for ideal temperature, flow, and retraction. I settled on a typical silk 220 C and retraction of .8 mm at 20 mm/s on a direct drive. It flowed a little easily so I kicked back my flow 1% from typical.

This was a pleasure to print--no stringing or hairs. Like most silks, it sticks to the bed incredibly well (too well if you squish it too much). The color change is pretty quick. Even on a benchy I got a slight color change through it. It made some amazing dragons with several different colors on there. And, it has a nice shine to it.

I'm really pleased with how this silk worked out.

This filament printed super clean and it's beautiful.

Used this to print some parts I needed and was happy with the results.

I noticed some slight imperfections in the finish, but this has been sitting out for while so it could probably spend a little time in the filament drier and any imperfections would clear right up. I did NOT see any of those artifacts with the benchy I printed right after opening the filament up.

The pricing for the filament is reasonable and close to what I would normally purchase filament at.
Printed on Textured PEI plate on Bambu A1 Mini. Prints as a nice green and works well with the Generic PLA settings in Bambu Labs.

Perfect print, right out of the box. Printed on Bambu P1S at 210 degrees. No stringing, blobs or any other defects.

I saw some color change on the benchy, but you'd need a somewhat larger print to see much change.

The only negative is that it doesn't come with a resealable bag.

This looks so good in real life and it prints very well. Some top surface lines but to be expected with this test model. It adheres very well to the build plate and it shows almost no layer lines. I am more than happy with the quality of this dual extrusion filament. The blend of the blue and green also makes a nice shiny yellow in the middle.
Great filament!
