Has a nice shine and prints well once dialed in.
Printing this Shine Silver on a mostly stock Kingroon KP3S. Using a PEI bed. Printing temperature: 215C, bed temp: 60C, print speed: 30 mm/sec, fan speed: 50%. I have no issues with bed adhesion and stringing is very minimal to almost none. I've been making mechanical parts such as gears and linkages for a Tourbillon mechanism and the parts seem plenty strong with no warping. I will be trying a couple of their other silk colors to see if they will print just as well. The only negative for me so far is the price, they're a little more expensive than a couple of the more established brands.

Loved it just wasn't what I was expecting
I bought this as I was using it to make party favors. I honestly do love the colors but the picture on the display made it look like I was getting more variety of colors. It could have been my roll in particular but it had a lot more goldish color compare to the rest. I had to do some minor cuts to get the other colors in order to complete my little project. Overall I did like how things turned out and will be buying from this company again.

My go-to for shiny filament
I bought this filament to try out rainbow colors on my prints. Shortly after I bought four more spools. Sadly they don't have a wide range of rainbow filaments so I'm going to have to look elsewhere for more variation. However, they do have a wide range of base colors so if they fall within that category I'll probably grab it from these guys. They also add in like 10 needles to clear out your nozzle and samples of like 10 other filaments. I've actually saved them all so I could use my filament welder and make another custom rainbow spool for free. The lifetime supply of needles after four purchases is also fantastic.

Decent but I have some gripes
This rainbow filliment can make some really cool and beautiful prints and it did do the job I wanted. I do have a couple issues though that I thought I should share.First, the peacock image displayed this product listing is misleading as it shows a distinct blue layer. There is no blue layer in this filliment. I've used 3 rolls and they all transition straight from red, to purple, to green, to yellow, to gold, and back to red. No blue.Second, the suggested print temp range is listed as 205c-230c. However, with the suggested temps I experienced clog after clog that required disassembly of my hot end to get at. I finally got it to print well and consistently at 235c. This is hotter than I feel like I should have needed to go. Maybe quality control is lacking and I got a bad batch? Doubt it since three rolls performed the same.Lastly, this stuff is super brittle and not because of the high heat required to print. Even on the roll if you compare it to another brand it is not as pliable. It will snap when others continue to bend further. This isn't a problem assuming you are just printing something for looks. Just know, it will break apart very easy under any strain and be careful when removing any printed supports.

Prints with some miner adjustments but...
All of the prints came out beautiful once I dialed in the temp and retraction. Only issue I had was that this filament constantly would cause clogs near the end of a roll. I believe this is why they give you complimentary cleaning needles. Not a huge deal but I did end up having to replace one hot end, as the clog was that bad. I still use the filament, but I make sure to clean the hot end regularly when using this filament.

Perfect for what I need
This filament is my go to for a fast color changing filament. It looks great, is easy to print and has a great cost to it. I've used 20+ spools at this point

clogs all the time no matter what (experienced user 2 years printing non stop)
The media could not be loaded. ive used a good number of brands now and it feels like this filament is way too fragiletried everything, print slow / fast (40mms / 80mms), hot / cold (210c / 220c im using nozzle x)even with a bondtech lgx lite extruder, eventually itll just clog when printing a model with lots of retraction like the famous articulated dragonsim pretty adamant on figuring out filaments but considering the price of these its just not worth it anymore (went through around 3 rolls)

Good, then not so good
The first half of the roll printed great - prints looked great and everything worked fine. Then, like in another review here, the second half of the roll experienced feed issues half way through prints. The roll was not bound up or anything, it just would not feed into my Prusa. Remove it, re-feed it, and it would print fine again for 1-2hours and then just stop feeding again.I have moved onto other brands and have not experienced the same issues.

Fragile
I've printed with silk filaments in the past and while silk can be a challenge to print with, this filament is near impossible to use. It's very weak to the extruder gears and tends to clog. The extruder gears eventually eat through the filament and it stops extruding. If you can get it to print, it's beautiful, but it's not that much prettier then other silks.

Almost perfect
The colors are bright and beautiful but my printer leaves small but visable oddities in a vertical line in a few places which ive never had happen before with other filaments. The "rainbow" effect is best utilized in large prints as it takes roughly 120-140 grams to get a full rainbow so, if you print small stuff youll just get 2 random colors.

Pretty good for the price.
For the price, this is pretty good rainbow filament. The colour changes are more frequent than other brands I’ve tried, and the gradient is nice, but I wish there was more blue. The dragon here is my first print with it and I think it went through the whole spectrum. I ran it hotter than other filaments (215 degrees) but that is not unusual for silk.
