I recently had the opportunity to use this metallic silver PLA filament, and it has absolutely exceeded my expectations, prompting me to give it a full five-star rating. As an avid 3D printing enthusiast, I've experimented with numerous types of filaments, but this one truly stands out for its exceptional quality and performance.First and foremost, the melting behavior of this filament is remarkable. It melts consistently, which is crucial for bonding each layer effectively. This feature alone makes it superior, as it ensures the durability and integrity of the prints. For those who have experienced issues with filament bonding in the past, this product could very well be your solution.One of the most impressive aspects of this filament is how smoothly it flows. This characteristic greatly contributes to an incredibly smooth and uniform first layer, which is often a make-or-break factor in the world of 3D printing. A well-laid first layer sets the foundation for the rest of the build, and this filament delivers flawlessly in that regard.In addition to its functional excellence, the aesthetic aspect of the filament should not be overlooked. The metallic silver shine it imparts to the prints is not only realistic but also visually stunning. It adds a professional touch to the objects, making this filament a fantastic choice for projects where appearance is paramount. Check out the cool laptop stand I was able to make with it.Furthermore, the filament’s adherence to the bed plate is commendable. Proper adhesion is vital to prevent warping and to maintain the precision of the print throughout the process. This filament maintains strong bed adhesion, minimizing common issues associated with lesser-quality filaments.Overall, this metallic silver PLA filament is one of the better PLA filaments I've worked with. It strikes the perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics, making it an excellent choice for both amateur and professional 3D printing projects. Whether you are creating simple household items or intricate models, this filament will likely elevate the quality of your work, ensuring crisp, clean, and reliable prints every time. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their 3D printing experience.

It has a blue tint to it compared to my matte black. I got this filament to get a glossy finish and cut down on processing. I uses this with a black acrylic top but the shade is just too different to use. Still a good filament on its own.

This filament has quickly become my absolute favorite. The silk purple finish is stunning, rich, vibrant, and produces a beautiful sheen that really makes prints stand out. I’ve had consistently smooth results with great layer adhesion and minimal issues during printing. If you’re looking for a filament that delivers both quality and eye-catching color, this one is definitely worth it.

Whenever I try a new brand of filament, especially silk, I'm always a bit nervous when printing a large project. Silk can be temperamental with adhesion, obvious layer lines, or supports that just won't let go.I purchased 2 rolls of the Giantarm Silk Metallic Silver for a very large print (close to 20" tall) that had to be printed in parts because of its size. In fact, the entire print took almost 2 full rolls. As I was printing the first section, I was so impressed by how smooth the layers were, I thought I must have accidently changed the settings from .20mm layer height to .16mm or below. After double checking, it really was at .20mm.I used 2 Bambu P1P printers at the same time to print the parts and save time. After printing 6 plates, and a combined 70 hours of total print time, there was never a single issue with adhesion, clogs or failures.The next test was support removal. I used the default tree support setting, and it used the same filament for supports. They all popped off very easily and clean with minimal clean-up and without damaging the model. When it came time to glue the parts together, everything fit together flat, no warping, and with a snug seam you only notice up close or looking for it, which could never be invisible regardless.As far as the finish, just beautiful! It has a great silvery sheen with just a touch of grayness to it. I slowed the default Outer Wall Print Speed from 200mm/s to 100mm/s to achieve great results, however if this print was smaller and took less time, I would normally set this to 40 or 50 for silk, in order to get the most shine. I wasn't sure if 100 would be slow enough, but I was thrilled with the results!I have found my new favorite metallic silk filament and not just because of the quality, as there are many quality silk filaments on the market, but those also can come at a premium price. Giantarm's value compared to it's quality makes this my top choice now! I really look forward to trying more colors from them now!

Love this color and no issues printing with. No tangling or clogging. Okay qualityy

Great product, I have purchased numerous times. Prints great and the spool was tight..

Have not had any kinks in the line, beautiful color would buy again.

Das Filament lässt sich nicht Drucken da es die Düse aufgrund von Dicken Stellen(bis 2,05 mm) verstopft.

Leider können die Fotos die Farben des Filaments nicht richtig wiedergegeben. Es sieht einfach klasse aus. Ich werde mir bestimmt noch andere Farbkombinationen bestellen!

I found this filament to be very workable with a consistent melt and good adherence. I like the flexibility you get with TRU, and I found that it kept its colour true. The filament coil came vacuum packed on a solid reel with a zip lock bag and silica pouch for storage (to keep dry). Overall, I am satisfied with the performance of this filament however, I would have liked that its print specification was printed on the spool or on the box (they are listed in product description on Amazon).I have also used the filament with a 3D printing pen and found that the filament worked very well and flowed smoothly out of the pen’s nozzle.

He probado este filamento PLA Seda plata de GIANTARM y el resultado ha sido muy bueno. El acabado plateado con efecto seda queda espectacular en piezas decorativas y da un aspecto mucho más profesional que un PLA normal.La impresión ha sido muy fluida desde el primer momento, sin atascos ni problemas de adherencia. Además, la precisión dimensional se nota bastante, ya que las piezas salen limpias y con muy buen detalle. Lo utilicé en varias impresiones largas y el diámetro se mantiene bastante constante.El color plata tiene un brillo elegante y uniforme, ideal para figuras, decoración y proyectos 3D.

I always think the signs of a good quality filament is the way it is packaged as it shows that they manufacturers care about how it is stored in the weeks/months between the factory floor and it arriving at the end user.The quality of printing with a filament suffers when it has been exposed to moisture and dust so to receive the silk PLA in a vacuum sealed bag with a silica gel packet inside shows that they care about quality.The packaging also comes with a re-sealable bag which is a nice touch.I've made a couple of test prints and the ease of printing is very good. It behaves no different to normal PLA using the same print settings (I used 210 degrees hotend with a 60 degrees heated bed). Despite some stringing (I probably could get away with 200 degrees hotend) I didn't have any issues with the prints (working first time).Colour is replicated really well (a nice shiny copper look) from the colour on the spool and the finish on the print is really smooth (I printed at 0.2mm layers and 100mm/s speed which explains the visibility of the layers).For price/kg this is a really good choice for all standard of users. Highly recommended.
