Rainbow Silk PLA - objective evaluations
I've been reading all day Amazon Critical Reviews and there are plenty of complaints. It's challenging to ascertain if some aren't just whiners or all the Rainbow colored PLA present problems. Has anyone found any independent org which rates and reviews PLA? These reviews either love the Silk color or say it doesn't look like the pix. Some complain re; stringiness but maybe they print with an old, cheap 3d printer? There's a lot riding on me getting this right. I've read re: Goto-Guard Filament Multicolor, Locyfens Silk, LovoOn Silk Rainbow, Creality Rainbow, and Semdon Green-Red-Blue Silk Rainbow. Thank you!
RE:
I don't think the colour matters, all foaming/expanding filaments cause problems especially as many new users don't realise they are compromising accuracy and strength for cosmetic effects. Usually it's better to use plain filament and post process with filler, abrasives, primer and several coats of old fashioned paint.
Cheerio,
RE: Rainbow Silk PLA - objective evaluations
I've printed a lot with rainbow silk recently with good results. Most of it has been Sunlu but also one reel of Eryone which I had never heard of before. Filament has been in my drybox for a couple of weeks feeding via mmu to mk4 using the standard generic pla configuration, only stringing I've had is when the print finishes and the head moves to the park position. The results have been great, I was trying to build some stock for a Christmas fair I'm doing but friends keep buying it because it has come out so well.
I would just buy the colour you want, make sure it is dry and print with it.
