Noulei Shiny PLA 3D Printing Filament for 3D Printer, 1kg/2.2lbs Spool 1.75mm, Silk Sapphire Blue

The filament is not resistant, any piece you print will break super easily unlike any other PLA, also it is really hard to get rid of the stringing no matter what you try... color looks OK and that's why the 2 stars, but the product overall is not recommended.

the quality is very bad. im telling this as filament user for 8 years. tried it on 3 printer all same result. tried on all settings possible for this but same bad result. Dont waste your money on this. if you want cheap and good filament try ESUN

I have bought the Red and the Gold spools. So far they are great almost done with both spools with little to no issues with most prints. Little warping happens if you use a bed hotter than 65c initial layer then 60c on a glass bed. Once that was sorted no warping or issues at all. Consistent print. I have ordered the silver and black now!

I ordered two packages based on the reviews but it seems like they are fake because this Pla looks good but is of bad quality, causes lotS of stringing and not durable at all.

The product looks very nice and shiny after printing. However, it is too brittle so avoid using this especially for load bearing prints. Otherwise, the product is good overall.

PLA quality is good but spooling is poor. Tangled up in my 2nd print which caused an 8 hour print to fail. I will never buy this filament again for this reason. Spool holder was also cracked when it arrived. Good PLA wasted on poor handling and spooling.

I bought this by accident thinking I was looking at PETG. But I am not disappointed. This filament is amazing. It prints so clean, the colour is absolutely stunning as well. Im super pleased with it!

I really love the quality of the print, I did not notice any stringing so it means there is no moisture. Maybe this is because of the good packaging (sealed vacuumed bag + a large bag of silica gel). The shine of the print is also satisfying to see.

Bought this on a whim, I don't normally print ornamental knick knacks as generally it's a waste of plastic but having done a major upgrade on my Qidi X-Max (genuine E3D V6 hotend) I thought I'd give this silk metal-look stuff a go to see what it could do, and boy it doesn't disappoint.My prints are coming out just as good as the product photos suggest, and unless you physically examine the print, you'd not know it isn't actually metal.Brilliant, will buy more of this brand.

Quite a nice lustrous gold finish, though it it does depend on a smoothly curved model to achieve the best effect. Sharp corners and detailed prints exhibit some feathering on corners, almost gritty.I ran prints from 190 to 210 in 5 degree steps, mechanically I find this more brittle than other filaments, with lower layer adhesion. Very little stringing.If your slicer allows it, print walls first as otherwise the infill will 'show through' (any printing imperfection will really show up overall).Best uses 'vase' spiral printing and decorative items, I can't recommend for mechanical parts.I also got the black silk finish, less brittle and no feathering as found with the gold the gold, but really just shiny black, don't be fooled by the product photo like I was, this will only give a metallic appearance on detailed prints under bright lights.

The colour was good. The rolling is Rubbish along with customer service no reply to my email. won't recommend or use ever aTrapped filament on spool.gain. How many pictures do you need to see the Filament trapped under other filaments. The result was a Damaged Printer. the Extruder stepper is fantastic it pulled the filament so tight that when it gave way the stepper motor broke the rubber drive belt the housing cover cracked & when it let go people in the complex i live in thought a Bomb had gone off. Truly so never again & when i emailed customer service they didn't bother to reply. This Filament destined for the Useless Pile.

I got this as the boss decided they wanted to see what some parts would look like in "metal" before we had something properly machined.The finish is quite translucent when it's thin, so if you're printing 0.1mm layers, you'll be able to see the print lines from the layer beneath.I tried to make some parts that needed to have some mechanical strength (I needed to screw something together) and the print just cracked and snapped off. Even a vertical plate snapped off with not much force.I tried different hot end temperatures, and even ran a temperature tower to see if that would help. That didn't assist much,. and just proved that this PLA isn't up for bridging etc.

I've tried five of the Noulei Silk colours now: Copper, Antique Gold, Rose Gold, Bronze and Black.This is the most reliable PLA material I've used, every print comes out perfectly. Sticks to the print bed with no issues and no need for glue etc, no warping or problems with layer adhesion, and removes easily when finished. Using a QIDI X-Plus, heated print bed, enclosed print area. Printing at 190C, print bed 50C with first layer 60C.Currently working on an item with 56 parts overall, 9 distinct pieces with multiples of each, and each copy comes out identical.The appearance is excellent, very shiny and eye-catching. The Copper in particular is outstanding, looks exactly like real metal. The Black also looks very like anodized aluminium.The Bronze is a little too green to really be called 'bronze', but that's true of every Bronze material I've seen. It looks exactly like the picture, so if that's the colour you want that's the colour you'll get. It fitted my project perfectly, so I'm very happy with it.Likewise the Rose Gold is a little too dark brown to really be called 'rose gold', but was the colour I was after and came out exactly as the picture, so again very happy with it.The Antique Gold is quite similar in colour to the Rose Gold, but less brown, and looks very like old and slightly tarnished gold. It's also a good 'brass' colour.I already have several spools of other brands 'Silver', otherwise I'd definitely buy the Noulei one now. As it is, I'll be buying it when I've used up what I have.Likewise I currently have no requirements for the other colours, but any that come up I'll definitely be buying Noulei. I'm very surprised they have so few reviews, given the quality of the materials.
