Sometimes they look great in product photos and then print looking like slightly shiny plastic once you actually use them. Other times they’re difficult to print, brittle, or clog constantly. This filament honestly surprised me in a good way. It actually does a pretty convincing job of giving prints a metallic appearance, especially under good lighting. No, it’s not going to fool someone into thinking it’s real metal, but compared to a lot of metallic PLAs I’ve tried, this has much more depth and a nicer sheen instead of just looking like regular plastic with glitter mixed in. What impressed me most is how easy it has been to print with. I didn’t have to fight with weird extrusion issues, excessive stringing, or poor layer adhesion. It printed cleanly right away and behaved much more like a standard PLA than some specialty metallic filaments I’ve used in the past. I liked this color enough that I also picked up the gold version and have been happy with both. They’re great for props, display pieces, decorative prints, cosplay details, and anything where you want a more premium or metallic look without dealing with the headaches some specialty filaments can bring. Overall, this feels like one of the rare metallic filaments that actually delivers the look people are hoping for while still being pleasant to print with.

Have gone through several rolls of both blue and gold with my Bambu Lab X1C with zero issues -- and I mean NONE -- straight out of the box. No clogging, no stringing, no tangling. It prints beautifully using a generic PLA silk profile and required almost no postprocessing. Attached are pics of a pencil holder from Makerworld that I did a few days ago that shows both colors. Just ordered a bunch of silver for an upcoming project and will update this review if somehow it fails to impress, but I don't expect I'll need to do that. Obviously some people have different experiences, but I get extremely consistent results across multiple orders and batches without doing anything other than opening the package, loading the filament, and using a known-good profile for silk PLA, so it suggests any problems lie with other people's equipment and/or practices rather than the filament itself. YMMV. ## Frequently Bought Together - Amazon Basics SILK PLA 3D Printer Filament, 1.75 mm, Silver, 1 kg Spool (2.2 lbs) - SUNLU PLA 3D Printer Filament PLA Filament 1.75mm, Neatly Wound 3D Printing Filament 1.75mm, Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.02 mm, Fit Most FDM 3D Printers, 1kg Spool (2.2lbs), Black - ELEGOO PLA Filament 1.75mm Red 1KG, 3D Printer Filament Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.02mm, 1kg Cardboard Spool(2.2lbs) 3D Printing Filament Fits for Most FDM 3D Printers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/241335235-amazon-basics-silk-pla-3d-printer-filament-1-75mm-1](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/241335235-amazon-basics-silk-pla-3d-printer-filament-1-75mm-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
