I got the Red/Black/Gold and Red/Blue/Yellow tricolor silk filaments and I'm very happy with them. They were well packaged and arrived fully dried and ready for use. Bed adhesion was extremely good and I had no issues at all with curling or lifting at the edges. The layer adhesion was better than average for a silk filament, not quite as good as regular PLA, but a lot better than I'd normally expect from a silk. Printing temperature was quite low, pressure advance was very low which makes it easy to print, the red/black/gold had no oozing or stringing at all, the red/yellow/blue had only slight stringing and both seem to have very good bridging ability. The silk effect is relatively subtle compared to other silk filaments, more of a gentle sheen rather than a strong sparkle but it does have the advantage that it's a stable effect even at quite high print speeds, up to 80mm/sec still gave a consistent look. I would say that the filament appears a little darker than the example images suggest, the dark color (blue or black depending on filament) tends to dominate a bit. Overall a good, easy printing silk filament with an interesting optical effect and good value for money, Recommended!
