Prints well on P1S with generic silk settings
No issues with this so far and the accuracy of the filament seems to be +/- 0.02 like advertised. No popping so the moisture seems good. Overall this is a good filament and the fade is pretty nice!
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!
The packaging was perfect. The spools came vacuum sealed and the filament was very well spooled on each roll.
This was printed on an JGMaker Artist-D pro with a significantly upgraded direct drive extruder. Printed at 205 nozzle and a 60 bed at 60mm/s at .2mm layer height.
I made zero tweaks to my PLA profile and this laid down really well. I didn't really start seeing some 'quality issues' until where the retraction points are the heaviest or quickest. Most of the issues I seen on this could be remedied (or reduced) by slowing my print down, which is what you should do on silk anyways. I just wanted to see how it would do at typical PLA speeds. All in all, not bad!
This is a little expensive for less than 1kg of silk, and I have had other silks print at PLA settings without these quality issues, so your mileage may vary.
