Shine Silk PLA Green/White/Purple Bundle

Nice vibrant colors, easy to use. Just as described

Really nice colors last a decent time

I really love the Coffee gold. I wish they sold all the colours in 1kg spools :-/

I purchased both the assorted packages for both "bright shine" and "silky shine metallic gold", so this review reflects my experience with both types of Mika3D PLA filament. UPDATE: I have continued to struggle with this filament under-extruding/jamming, particularly when printing finer detail with a 0.25mm nozzle. Fortunately, I just found a setting in PrusaSlicer that seems to have solved this problem by limiting the maximum flow/pressure. By setting the "Max volumetric speed" I'm able to keep the extruder from attempting to push too much filament through too quickly and avoid this brittle filament breaking off in hobbed bolt grooves and eventually slipping. Prusa suggests a default value of Layer Height × Extrusion Width × Speed. My Prusa Mini with Bondtech extruder upgrade and 0.25mm nozzle is currently printing with a max volumetric speed of 0.75mm³/s and no sign of under-extrusion. This is conservative and I plan on testing higher flow rates since it nearly doubled my print time but, if the other option is wasting time being frustrated by failed prints and extrusion issue or throwing away the 20+ different rolls of Mika3D filament I've purchased, I consider this a win. --- ORIGINAL REVIEW: Once I got my settings dialed in for good print bed adhesion (configuration below), I was quite pleased with this filament for larger low-detail items such as toys and brackets. The primary difficulty I've found with this filament is that it's too brittle for the extruder gears to move back and forth repeatedly for detailed work. Any time I've tried to print at 0.10mm or less. The first several layers print beautifully in fine detail (0.05-0.10mm) but, as the extruder gears move the filament back and forth, the sides break off and collect in the extruder gear teeth. This results in less traction and more friction on the same spot. Eventually the filament stops extruding and, when I unload it, you can see where sides are ground down to a narrow point where the gears no longer had enough traction.. It's worth noting that the temperature tower I printed (see photo) showed consistently good quality between 190C and 215C with significant stringing starting around 220C. Original Prusa i3 MK3S (PC bed) Recommended Settings: Layer Height: 0.15mm or higher Extruder Temp (first layer): 230C Extruder Temp (other): 215C Bed Temp (first layer): 80C Bed Temp (other): 70C

Great product

Clean colors

I am giving these 4 stars because while it isn't the worst it isn't the best. It was easy to use other than it wanting to tangle up on me a few times with 3 of the rolls. The spools were much smaller than the ones my AMS use. The print Quality was great on most of my projects. My main complaints are one roll was very brittle, and I couldn't use it at all, another roll had made my projects amazing, but it threw filament all in my machine, I was only able to make a few projects because there wasn't much filament on the rolls, and finally the machine had some problems flowing the filament back onto the roll.

Great stuff prints well

The small Flashforge Adventurer 3 that I have on my yacht needs these smaller spools. Sure, they're a little bit more expensive than larger spools, but who cares. For the convenience it's worth it. The filament prints a bit stringy, but that may be a function of the Bowden tube drive on the printer. I'll experiment with larger retractions and it will probably solve that.

les couleurs sont intéressantes, changé les spec. de chauffage de la buse et du plateau, car ça ne tenait pas bien. matériel plus cassant que celui que j'utilise normalement `flashforge`.

First of all I have to say we (me and my 10yo son, are pretty new to 3D printing. We are using an Ender 3 S-1 printer. We have printed about 25 to 30 projects before using the MIKA3D filaments. We bough the 12 bright silk colors box. My son wanted to try printing small toys and gidgets of different colors and we thought this pack woul be a great choice. The colors are great, pretty bright and vivid. We had absolutely no problem using the usual 200 nozzle/60 bed configuation. We made sure the bed was levelled. By the way....just make sure you perform your Z axis and Z offset when your nozzle and bed are at required temperature. The prints came out perfectly and with all the details. We had not adherence problem at all, even with small parts not having a brim. So as our experience is limited, I can't compare with many others........but they really perfomeed as well as the more expensive filaments we are using. I will reorder different colors....and we are eager to try a fluorescent and a light in the dark filament from MIKA3D!

The filament was delivered quickly and looks really great printed.

Great stuff, nice prints. Awesome price.
