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

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.

I've tried everything, dehydrating the filament, etc, but the results are always brittle. Printing on glass, often the base of the print breaks off removing from the print bed. Printing anything with mechanical requirements fails almost immediately.This filament is only good for basic cosmetic prints, with little to no dimensional accuracy requirements (parts just don't fit together compared to the same print with PLA+).

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!

disclaimer: I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen or not with any colored filamentbut this one leaves alot of coloring marks on the printing bed that are super difficult to get rid of. also some parts of the roll get stuck not going into the printer (damaged/irregular thickness?)

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.

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.

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.

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 use quite a lot of PLA.I've used a few different colours from Noulei but this silk red has proved a little more challenging.Firstly print quality if your printer is properly set and printing at the right temperatures is great.I love the colour as it was a deeper red than I'm used to so it produced very impressive results.I struggled with bed adhesion but this may be not down to the PLA but my particular set up and temperatures.I also found printed item's had a harder more brittle finish so for parts this PLA is not going to wok for me.If you print models for display then this is a good colour PLA assuming you don't have bed adhesion issues.Still giving it 4/5 as I do like the finish.
