CC3D Silk Green Bronze PLA Filament 1.75 mm 1KG 3D Printer Filament Spool 3D Printing Material Silky Shiny Metallic Finish Metal Like Consumable Army Green Bronze PLA

This filament is great! Sticks well, looks amazing! Definitely would recommend.

Reading other reviews before buying this, I saw pointed emphasis that this Bronze filament has a green color to it, and I can attest to that. I'll add my own description to this filament's appearance: very old, but polished bronze. The filament and prints from it definitely have a higher shine than standard PLA (not as shiny as PETG though!), but the color makes me think of old bronze that's been kept indoors, but years of moisture has turned it to a greenish color.Anyway..... Moving on to printing with it, I have no issues and am about 3/4 of the way through this spool already. I took on some 3D printing work that entails me printing parts in different colors, and this was one of several spools I bought to augment my color palette. I've used this filament almost exclusively for a pedestal, and it's aged bronze look really fits the bill for appearance. I've printed with it on my Flashforge Creator Pro and my BIBO Touch 2 and have had zero issues with this filament on both printers. The filament always flows nicely, it adheres well to the printers' build plates, the spool arrived UNdamaged, so I haven't had any unraveling or tangling issues, and it hasn't clogged any nozzles.Here's my generalized heat and speeds for this filament. In synopsis I run it at the same speed as standard PLA, but I run it a bit hotter than standard PLA. My BIBO is currently sporting 0.8mm nozzles, so note that it's nozzle temp and speeds are offset to compensate for the extra filament flow.Flashforge: 215 to 225 degrees Celsius at the nozzle, and 60 mm/s average print speed.BIBO: 230 to 240 degrees Celsius at the nozzle, and 30 mm/s average print speed.This is just what's worked for me, so don't consider it a guarantee to work best for you and your printer. At any rate, should I need to print items of a unique color, I'll definitely get another spool of this; I anticipate to run out of it soon.

I wanted to give this 5 stars, but for the first time, my printed object had breaks in it. One foot was broken, the tail halfway up and there was a birds nest at the end of the tail.I’m going to try slicing this in Cura again and print it at 100% to see if the breaks go away. Also, I used cubed infill because one of the reviews said it made it look like scales. If I do this with any infill next time I’ll use zigzag like I usually do. This pattern was printed by my co-worker in Prusa filament and he didn’t have cracks.I have to say, this is a bit of a mossy green. Perfect for a dragon, but not sure I would call it bronze. It came out very shiny.This was printed on the QIDI X-Plus with 30% cubed infill at 205/60 degrees and 60mm/s. I really like the color and will update the review if my next prints are more successful.UPDATE: at 100% infill (zig zag) and cutting the print speed in half, the resulting print was much sturdier, but there were little warty protrusions all over it. This last one was printed at 220/60. Some of the imperfections were able to be removed with my fingernail, but I feel like the rest need to be filed off. Overall, I probably wouldn’t buy this one again because there are so many other less picky selections on the market.The last photo is 15% infill on the left, 100% on the right.Bumping this up to 5 stars. It made a good benchy and pen cup. Since my original review, I’ve printed the dragon with other filament & had similar breaks & zits. It’s a beautiful color.

Update Jan 16 2022:Ordered their gold and copper silk filaments as well. With gold it's tougher to get a good metallic sheen but still working on it. Copper looks amazing. Key with this filament type is to print slowly and not too hot.Update Dec 8 2020:Gave this filament another shot this time using the CC3D recommendations in the comment. 40 C bed, 215 C nozzle, 25 mm/s print speed, 12.5 mm/s initial layer print speed, fan 100% on from 2nd layer. Results as shown in the attached 8-flip octopus photo. Quality is great even if I opened the bag 1 month ago (granted, I kept it sealed with the silica gel pack inside). Prints slowly, but I recommend putting in fine layers to get the most benefit out of this material's sheen. Raised one star for print quality. Withholding one for slow print speed.Nov 8 2020 original review: hard to push through, weak adhesionInteresting color and finish, especially with proper cooling. However, bed adhesion is poor and thermal warping is significant. Need to print very slowly... even 35 mm/s is too fast (at 210 degC).Print bed at 60 C is *way* too cool, first layer peels off as it's being printed. Was able to get a decent print with bed at 95 degC, extruder at 210 degC, part cooling fan off until layer 4; 40% afterwards. Should have gone slower than 35 mms/ to avoid under extrusion.Attached photos show first, failed print attempt which I had stopped at ~layer 3 (both sides); second, better faring attempt (both sides), and an edge view showing that the part cooling fan is needed to get the shiny finish, but you will start battling shrinkage and warping.
