AMOLEN - Light Wood 3D Filament, Rainbow, PLA Filament 1.75mm1kg, Dry Rose Wood/Eonium/Burgundy/Walnut

Bought for my husband who 3d prints, he had no issues with the first print and was really pleased with the finish. The filament quality was good, no stringing. Looking forward to his next creations, would purchase again.

Let me tell you, this stuff is magic. I started using it, and before I knew it, I had created a mini Statue of Liberty, a working clock, and a set of dentures for my pet fish. Yes, you read that right, dentures for my fish. This filament is so good it can make the impossible possible. The silk, red and green colours are so vibrant. It's like they're alive. I can't wait to see what kind of crazy creations I can develop next. Thanks, AMOLEN, for making me feel like a 3D printing wizard!

I bought a pack with four different types of filament; wood, marble, bronze and gold. The wood filament holds onto the PEI bed well at 70 degrees. I extruded at 215 initially but reduced that to 200 mid-print as I noticed a lot of stringing which never happens with other filaments. Changing the temp down didn't help. Cooling was at 100% after the first layer. I suspect to print without stringing I might need to increase the retraction distance before movement. The wood filament has a nice feel to it and can be sanded. I will definitely be ordering more of this when I run out! The gold filament is sparkly but has a bit of a lack-lustre look to it when printed. It could probably do with a higher ratio of gold sparkly bits to PLA. I printed a tiara for the girls and they love it but I probably won't buy the gold filament again, I just didn't like the overall look of it when printed. This is just an opinion though, YMMV. The marble filament looks really great when printed, it's fantastic for printing buildings, especially roman columns etc. I haven't tried the bronze filament yet. This is a great pack to test out different filaments without taking the plunge on a single 1kg reel of the stuff. Definitely worth a go!

First impressions when this arrived was good. It was vacuum sealed in a normal filament box with a small set of printing guidelines which is always welcomed. I have used Glow filament before from a different brand so I was able to compare this to see how it held up. It was just as brittle as the other brand but that is down to the make up of glow in the dark filament, this didn't cause an issue when feeding into the printer or when printing. I tested the glow on the reel and it was surprising easy to get a glow from it compared to the other brand I had used, although it was blue which may have a factor? I took a step back to my childhood and printed a moon and stars that would glow in the dark. I remember getting these from a magazine and sticking them to my ceiling. For comparison I printed in this filament and also in the other brand's blue filament. Both held up extremely well, adhesion to my freshly cleaned bed was great and it was easy to remove after cooling down. I tested the glow on these and as you can see I was very happily surprised that they came out so well! Definitely brighter than the other branded blue. Since I had both colours printed I decided to create a scene with them. (@mck.3d on Instagram) Printed using an Ender 3 Pro no upgrades, 200 degree hotend & 60 degree bed. All in all I am very happy with this filament. I had never come accross this brand but it will definitely be on my list of reputable suppliers!

I am in love with this filament and will be buying all the colours. First the colour is subtle and interesting. The colour change can be seen even on smaller pieces. The ombre effect is very gradual so it looks expensive and sophisticated. The layer adhesion is beyond perfect and you can't see any print lines. I made a vase and it doesn't even look 3D printed it is so smooth! Considering the amount of crunchy ugly filaments I have tried lately, I wish this brand made all the colours so I'd never need to buy from anyone else.

This was my first purchase of a "novelty" PLA and I am impressed. The filament arrived vacuum sealed in a foil/plastic bag with silica gel desiccant - as expected from any good supplier. This glow in the dark PLA "charged" up easily with a torch and gave off a nice green glow for 2 or 3 minutes. I am using a Prusa i3 MK3 printer and managed to load and print with this filament, giving as good a print as any other PLA material. I found that it printed well around the 200°C mark - a little less than some other filament brands. The print in my photo is "Ghost" by Desktop_Makes - Thingiverse: thing:3178232 printed at 0.2mm layer height. The walls are quite thin so I printed with a 2mm brim, but there were no problems with bed adhesion and the layers look really clean. Overall a bit of fun to play around with - perhaps use this to make glowing eyes on your 3D printed characters? Would happily purchase this again.

---EDIT--- I've discovered a major problem and I've knocked it down to 1 star. I was 14 hours into a print and it started air printing. On further inspection, I realised why. The filament diameter got so large in a certain area that the filament wouldn't pass through the PTFE on the spool side. Almost half a spool of filament wasted due to manufacturing inconsistencies and I'm not happy at all. £10 would be a fair price for this filament. ---ORIGINAL REVIEW--- This filament prints beautifully. It's the best silver metallic filament that I've tried and I've tried many. It's easy to tune, adheres to the PEI sheet no problem and bridges very well. I've had to knock a star off for the price. It's way over priced for PLA, it should be closer to £15-18 rather than £30.

Heute habe ich mal das Glow in the Dark PLA 1,75 von Amolen getestet . Da ich noch nie so ein PLA gedruckt habe wollte ich das auch mal versuchen. Hatte jetzt schon so einige PLAs der Firma Amolen und war bisher immer begeistert. ▂ ▃ ▄ Verpackung ▄ ▃ ▂ Das Glow in the Dark (grün und blau) PLA kam in der heutzutage üblichen Verpackung. Kleiner Karton mit beiden Rollen drin – diese waren Vakuumiert und es war ein Flyer mit allen PLAs dabei und deren Temperaturen ▂ ▃ ▄ Durchmesser / Qualität ▄ ▃ ▂ Wichtig bei bei Filament ist immer der Durchmesser auf mehreren Metern. Große Abweichungen abseits von den 1.75mm beeinträchtigen das Druckergebnis. Deshalb wird das Filament von mir immer auf 10 Meter alle 25cm mit einem Messschieber getestet. Bei diesem PLA habe ich auf diese länge eine max. Abweichung von 0.03 gehabt was ok ist. Gewickelt ist das PLA sehr gut – hatte ich auch schon öfters meine Probleme aber hier keine Spur! ▂ ▃ ▄ Setup ▄ ▃ ▂ Ich habe einen Anet A8 mit Bowden Setup.(E3D Hotend) Ich drucke auf Glas mit einer Bed Temp von 54C. Nach einem TempTower Druck habe ich mich für 190C Nozzle Temp entschieden, weniger ist hier mehr um stringing etc zu vermeiden (Angegeben sind 190-220) ▂ ▃ ▄ Fazit ▄ ▃ ▂ Ich teste gerne neues Filament und das Glow in the Dark PLA von Amolen ist wirklich klasse. Die Rollen sehen beide eher weiß aus und je nach Sonnen/Licht aufladung leuchten sie dann im dunkeln blau oder grün- richtig cool. Zusätzlich dachte ich durch das Leuchtmittel stinkt es extrem giftig beim drucken – hat es aber nicht und Amolen wirbt auch mit „natürlichen“ Zutaten für das PLA. Preislich sehr attraktiv (2 Rollen ~50€) und die Qualität lässt wenig Wünsche offen. Ich bin sehr überzeugt von dem Filament. Nach mehreren Testdrucken und einer Wunderschönen Figur für die Kinder (ein Kürbis der leuchtet) bin ich voll und ganz zufrieden. Die Leuchtkraft ist klasse und es macht wirklich spaß damit Halloween oder andere Dinge zu drucken Bei zu hohen Temperaturen gibt es blobs und stringing also so niedrig wie möglich ansetzen (bei mir hat 190 gereicht) Haftung auf dem Bed ist sehr gut bei oben genanntem Setup. Bläschen oder dergleichen habe ich keine außer bei einem Test mit hoher Temp. Ich bin überzeugt und spreche aufgrund des Preises eine – klare Kaufempfehlung aus

4 carretes en un mismo empaque

Un gran filamento, realmente estoy muy satisfecho con su calidad, volveré a comprar

J'adore le rendu de ce pla. Impression hyper facile comme du pla classique, j'ai passé les 4 bobines sans aucun bourrage ni decollage du plateau. C'est tellement dommage qu'il soit presque introuvable en europe, c'est vraiment un excelent produit

I can pull string by string layer by layer (not only the first layer). I've tried to decrease the speed, higher and lower temp doesn't change a thing. I've tried value inside the range for this filament. I've also tried to dry it, doesn't change a thing. The first layer seems fine at first but it can be riped apart. This is the only brand that I have that does that. Won't buy anything from AMOLEN anymore.
