FLASHFORGE PLA Filament 1.75mm Galaxy Matte Black, 3D Printer Filament with Silver Glitter 1kg (2.2lbs) Spool, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.02mm, Shimmering 3D Printing Filament for Unique Finish

I got this filament based on a post in a 3D printer forum. I have never used FlashForge filament before but I know of the brand. (mostly as a printer company that also makes filament) The Flash Forge Burnt Titanium color has a bit of a following on the forum I was reading though. I had to try it out. It printed fairly easily but I ended up lowing my bed temp from 60 to 55 to get better results. My prints were sticking originally but then coming loose occasionally. (enclosed printer which was probably getting too hot inside) I printed with a nozzle temp of 230 which could be too high. (220 might have been better at high speed) I wanted the most shine out of the filament and higher temps generally give you more shine. My next print will be at a lower nozzle temp. If it looks the same visually, I will print at a lower temp from now on. The models I printed look great. Everyone I have shown them to likes the colors. You can see black, green and a shade of blue depending on lighting conditions and the angle you look at it. (a combination of both) I attempted to photograph a model and I could get it to show multiple colors but it does not look as cool in the picture as it does in person. For some reason, the photos show the model in a single color for the most part. If there isn't enough light, it sort of looks like light black. Tough stuff to photograph. This is not a tri color filament in the normal sense. It is like a mostly black, glitter like filament with the three colors showing at different angles. (at least that is what I think it is) I do not claim to know exactly how it does this. I like trying new types of filament especially filaments that give a print a unique look. This definitely checks all of the boxes. I will likely be ordering more of this at some point. Other than vases, reptiles and dragons, I am not sure what else I will print with this. It isn't for every model but when it works, it really works.

The color is vibrant, consistent, and looks amazing on finished prints—exactly what I was hoping for. It has a smooth, rich tone that really pops, whether I'm printing small models or larger pieces. Print quality has been excellent. The filament feeds perfectly with no jams, and layer adhesion is solid. I’ve had zero issues with warping or stringing, and the surface finish is clean and professional-looking every time. It’s clear this is a high-quality filament, and it’s become my go-to for any projects that need a bright, eye-catching pink. Highly recommend for anyone who wants great results and reliable performance!

Really beautiful filament, prints in a beautiful dynamic deep blue color that glitters a little and changes in subtle ways depending on the angle of the light. Filament doesn't clog, and only cracked once when left out on my desk for about two weeks during a humid spell in the summer (and only the stretched out section on the end cracked - keep your filament dry folks!). Photos don't do this filament justice, but see them anyway :) Good stuff, good strength, reasonable price.

I've been dabbling in various brands of 3D printing filaments over the years, but FLASHFORGE PLA Filament is swiftly becoming my go-to choice due to its exceptional consistency and reliability. This filament has not only lived up to but exceeded my expectations in several demanding projects, including the latest where I printed shelf brackets that have successfully withstood rigorous weight tests. One of the standout qualities of FLASHFORGE PLA Filament is its strength. Despite PLA's reputation for being less tough compared to more industrial materials, this filament defies the odds. The shelf brackets I printed are not only functional but robust enough to handle significant weight without any signs of strain or failure. This is a testament to the superior quality of the material, which assures me that I can rely on it for projects that require both durability and precision. The appearance of the prints is another area where FLASHFORGE excels. The filament produces prints with a clean, aesthetically pleasing finish that looks professional and meticulously detailed. I experimented by using a different bed plate to add a carbon fiber style look to my prints, and the results were spectacular. This filament manages to capture and reflect intricate details beautifully, making it perfect for both functional objects and decorative pieces. Furthermore, my experiences across various colors of FLASHFORGE filament have consistently delivered great results, which speaks volumes about the brand’s quality control. Each spool I’ve used has offered the same reliability and print quality, which eliminates the common hassle of filament variability that can affect the outcome of prints. I highly recommend FLASHFORGE PLA Filament to anyone engaged in 3D printing, whether you are a hobbyist or a professional. The filament’s consistency in quality, strength, and the ability to beautifully render detailed finishes make it a top choice. For those who have faced challenges with other brands or are looking for a reliable filament that delivers excellent results every time, look no further than FLASHFORGE. It’s a brand that not only promises but delivers high-quality prints with every use.

The print comes out flawless! Has a great look

El filamento es bastante bueno, no contiene humedad alguna y se trabaja muy bien con temperaturas entre 198-205 en mi caso. El acabado es excelente y los colores sí cambian con respecto a la posición de la luz. Realmente me sorprendió lo bien que quedan las piezas.

The adhesion is tricky sometimes you need to find a best temperature. Otherwise is good.

It produces a good quality print. Compare to the previous brand that I’m using. This one is by far the best filament that I have used.

After finishing off a roll of another brand's Black I was looking for something a little different but also, not, brightly coloured. That's when the Flashforge sparkly black filament caught my eye. I'm relatively new to 3d printing so far having printed with 'printer's PLA tester orange', a well known brand's black + white, and a lesser known brand's translucent PETG yellow. All the PLA printed fairly well but the PETG was a disaster. After finishing off my last brand roll, I switched over to the FF Galaxy Black. I reviewed the heating instructions and noted it had a melting point of 50c and lower end range of 190c (slightly lower than the other brand PLA I was using before). So I tweaked my slicer settings and put the new filament in my curer for 5 hours at 45c to ensure there was no residual moisture going to affect print quality. Immediately it started stringing and wouldn't stick and panic struck. Why was PLA going wrong when I'd had no problems with my other rolls mere minutes earlier?? I immediately knocked my Z down 0.1mm and tried the same print again, voila, problem solved. That's a first! Normally it takes me ages of faffing, with this filament, 1 print and I've then had zero problems with subsequent prints. I showed my other half, my first print and the reaction was "ooh that looks nice, it's sparkles!" which is amazing given it was a kitchen towel for an Ikea rod I grabbed from thing verse which I'd printed (pictures attached of two different varieties, neither matched what I needed, so I am still working on it in Fusion360, will re-upload once I'm happy with it). So first impressions are very good, both from me, and a non-3d printer person. Very easy to dial in. Good adhesion. Can't comment on 'sheerness' amazon, it's a black filament?! I did read on a group somewhere that 'sparkly' filament can cause issues with the hot end or something so maybe something to be aware of and keep an eye out on, if you run lots of rolls of this kind of filament, perhaps? But no problems for me thus far, from the 4-5 prints I've done so far. Would I recommend this to a friend? Yes Would I buy this again? Yes Anything else to add? It'd be cool to have a white or cream with sparkly silver bits in it, like the newer marble counter tops you see. Get on it, Flashforge R&D team!

I was looking for a gray spool of filament for my new 3d printers. This filament is good and strong. I made a video game controller with it and it looks fantastic. I just printed another one for a friend. Good buy!
