PLA Galaxy Chameleon

Generally Stronghero3D filament has never given me any problems, and this one is no different. Used both in an AMS unit and in a spool holder both with excellent results. The filament itself was smooth with no pitting or twists that I could feel, and went through PTFE tubing and the nozzles with no issues.The two tone came out perfect, I had no filament bulges or snags. I used it on a couple of Dumpster Fire prints, and it came out excellent.

Honestly I had zero issues with this stuff in my Flashforge M5 pro. And I am a total noob at this stuff. I just got a 3D printer a few weeks ago to help with doing audio stuff and other misc parts. Anyway here is an example of a wire guide I designed in fusion360 for a set of 5 channel RCA I made and it came out perfect using Orca slicer. I’ve had issues with other brands but this stuff was top notch using mostly just stock settings.

At first, I thought this was going to be fine. Vacuum bag was real tight, none of the signs of cheap filament were there. I just had finished up a role of another bargain brand silk-pla, and wrestled some of the other hard to print filaments like TPU and PCTG, so was feeling confident. I had no idea the nightmare that was beginning.So, first of all, it took 24 hours in a Sunlu dryer box to get the humidity reading below 25%, while my workshops ambient humidity read 15% humidity and 72f. 48 hours total, it finally got down to 15%, and I was ready to print...And then, it clogged my .4mm nozzle. Then again, and again. I finally gave up and switched to a .6mm nozzle.Then, it started curling, at a bed temp of 60, and 70, and 80... in a room with 74f and an enclosure around it.About 40 test cubes later, I finally dialed in a bizarre set of settings, which makes me think there's so little actual PLA in this, if any, it really should be called something else. I ended up turning up the heat in the room to 75f, the bed to 110c (I printed silk PLA at bed 60c in the past), the nozzle to 225c, the flow turned down to 80, and I turned my printer up from 60mms to 80mms. This finally resolved the curling. Despite all of this, though, it still switches between stringing and zitting, at totally random places, no two cubes are the same. It makes me think that either the mixture of elastomers and (whatever this "PLA" is) was super inconsistent, or the diameter of the filament is super inconsistent.It was too late to return the roll, so now I'm just printing whatever trinkets that don't need very good print results, to use up this nightmare of a roll, and I will never look back.

I've used two rolls of this filament on my Bambu X1C and never had any issues. The colors of the autumn green are great! Have also used the summer green and had zero issues. Great filament with great colors!

I picked up this Stronghero3D PLA filament in the Vertigo Galaxy Rainbow color and I’m seriously impressed. I’ve tried a bunch of different filaments over the past year or so, but this one instantly became one of my favorites. The colors are absolutely beautiful—deep purples, blues, reds, and golds that fade into each other with a really nice sparkle. It’s subtle enough to look classy but still eye-catching. Perfect for gifts, display models, or anything you want to stand out.As far as print performance goes, it was actually pretty easy to work with. I did a few test prints and found the best results came with the nozzle at 240°C and the bed at 65°C. I also kept the speed under 100mm/s, and it made a noticeable difference in the print quality. One tip—definitely use a 0.6mm nozzle or larger with this filament. Because of the glitter in it, a standard 0.4mm nozzle can clog after a while. Ever since switching to 0.6mm, I haven’t had a single issue.I used this filament on both my Ender 3 and Prusa MK3S+ and it printed smoothly on both. Great bed adhesion, no warping, and very little stringing, even on detailed prints. The dimensional accuracy is solid, just like it says on the product page. I printed everything from small organizers to a decorative mask, and they all came out clean and strong.The spool came vacuum-sealed with a desiccant, and the filament was dry and ready to go right out of the bag. I also liked that they included a resealable bag for storage—little things like that go a long way for keeping filament in good shape.Overall, I’m super happy with this filament. It’s one of those rare ones that looks amazing and also prints well. If you're looking for a colorful PLA that pops, this one is absolutely worth trying. I’d definitely buy it again.

Printed on X1C with stock settings from the model maker which is on Cults3d.com. Printed out beautifully with only one issue and that was very tip of one fin came off when removing supports. In the pics on the ad it shows the green much brighter. Not sure if that's a result of the temp or a different kind of filament altogether. Either way I'm happy with it.

I will admit the colors and and the effects are beautiful. However, layer adhesion is not desireable. It clogs randomly for no good reason. After the 4th jam trying to print a large item that takes around 400g, I am just throwing the reel away. This is not worth my frustration. PET-CF and ASA were much easier to work with than this PLA. I rarely if never clog, so this was something very new to me. Running a Creality K1 Max.
