Eryone Ultra Silk Bronze PLA 3D Printer Filament Review

[@briangroene7756]

Love that filament. Gives me an idea. I gotta find an STL of a Dundee Award from The Office

[@chochyvlogs8981]

Heck ya!

[@chuckhole]

Tried the Eryone silk copper and was immediately hooked, so I ordered the gold and silver (now waiting for it). I used the stock Prusament PLA settings on a Prusa Mini and got great results from the very first print and on. I see lots of positive reviews of this stuff. Especially nice is the perfect coil winding on the spool (like Prusament and some others)-- not slop wound, which always means you're getting better quality and tolerance.

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

It is wound very nicely and it has given me some nice prints.

[@caleblary9512]

I love the spiral vase!! So cool. Wish I could purchase one!

[@roofoofighter]

I want to see C-3PO! Cool stuff

[@avk3dprinting872]

We have that problem too.. running out of adjectives hahaha. Nice reivew.

[@Ch17638]

Silk PLA (I am also using Eryone) is my absolute nemesis , I have never had my prints fail more on this than on any material , I have spent days if not weeks trying to get this to work with all types of print , my normal calibration prints work out fine , the xyz cube, retractions tests and overhangs no problem at all , even can print one of those neat shark desk toys you can find on tinkercad. Then I load a design in that is a little bit bigger like for example a chassis for a raspberry pi , the butterfly puzzle box, a maze puzzle cylinder and the bowden extruder on my Tevo Tarantula starts clicking on the first layer , it still looks good until it hits about 20mm on the z axis and the nozzle is completely clogged and starts laying down brittle layers for about 2mm then all back to normal. I tried everything , upping the temp , lowering the temp , bed leveling, slowing down the print, speeding up the print , reduce extrusion , increase , adjust retraction speeds, upgraded to a genuine e3d v6 extruder. Then when I take the printer exact same settings and pop in a normal roll of PLA or the nice glow in the dark one the problem instantly stops , no extruder clicks nothing .

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

Silk PLA has been a challenge for me. Most of my printers are direct drive so I’m not getting clicking .... but overhangs and supports were a struggle. I found doing Temperature Towers to find the sweet spot helps immensely

[@Ch17638]

@@WhereNerdyisCool i also thought direct drive might be a little bit more forgiving, also finding the extrusion width is tricky as silk pla seems to expand when heated. But it fails mostly on specific types of prints rather than all,namely the ones where large area of base layers are printed on the bed.

[@Ch17638]

@@WhereNerdyisCool but i will keep trying , i am sure i will figure out the secret. Every time i think have have it and make notes i am sadly dissapointed.

Thank you for your review I loved it!

[@ralionnikita8391]

I searched Ultrasilk Bronze - it is out of stock everywhere. Super.

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

Yes I’ve heard this mentioned a few times now. As an alternative you could check out Zyltech’s metallic filaments. (Use coupon code NerdisCool to save 5% as well)

[@jakemakes]

Has no one tried vapor smoothing these metal filaments?? Seems like you could get an incredible finish with that, then buff it with a polishing wheel. It would look JUST like real metal.

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

I’ve read how that works for ABS but haven’t seen much on PLA silk brands Give er a go!

[@cowiegaming80s]

I’ve had trouble with this brand. I bought x3 filaments all were breaking, really brittle. I contacted support and to their credit, they openly admitted the batch had less softening agent in it. This was a bit worrying as I bought, blue, orange and green. Ever since then I’ve never used them.

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

Their regular PLA? The Ultra Silk PLAs have printed very well for me. Their regular PLAs (blue and black) work fine for me. (No matte finish tho!)

[@jamesanderson2381]

Great review. Too good in fact. Now out of stock on Amazon!

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

It’ll be back!

[@geomagicien9085]

seems absolutely identical to my Noulei Antique gold

[@KikkawaRyu]

I've used Eryone for months now and its always been a great filament recently ran out of their black but waiting on new stock. There white is amazing for lithophanes

[@Vishinho17]

Hey, can you tell me which exact eryone filament you use for lithophanes? They have matte white, heir standard/normal filament has white and ivory white and also their sub-brand cerprise has a white filament.

[@vijo2616]

Other than price, what's the difference between 'Eryone Silk' and 'Eryone Ultra Silk' ?

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

Interesting question! You should ask them. I’d be curious what they say

[@leepatterson4009]

Do you know if this filament is still available only what the current equivalent is. I cannot see another filament offering the same look. Looks more gold and exactly what I want. Let me know. Cheers

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

I’ve had that question a lot. Let me see what I can find

[@edh3268]

Great video! Amazing prints! Wow! Thank you for sharing! Also, do you have any info on the printer, slicer, and extruder nozzle used? Btw, how can I get that test file that tests the holes, bridging, has the angles, etc.?

I don't see the silk bronze anymore... This isn't the gold one correct? Where do you get yours?

great video im new to this & only had my printer just over a week, ive also got the Eryone thinker s using stock print settings within cura printing with silk gold pla but not getting anywhere near the same results as you are.. you can see every line in mine.. could you give more details on the vase settings you used.? what did you print it at 0.2 or 0.1 ? or other. speed you printed at or better still with me having same printer could you not just upload the file you used on your printer for it to see if i get the same results.. .. many thanks..

Your prints look great and very bronze but when I look at the picture of the filament on Eryone's website or Amazon the filament and sample vase look green. Not interested in green so is there another "bronze"? Thanks.

Hello Paul, I have bought all the ULTRA SILK colors and for some reason I have not been able to print anything with details, there's always something wrong with my prints, can you please tell me what settings are you using? I have tried everything, speed, temp, infill, jerk,acceleration...nothing works so far, please advise or if anyone here can help I would appreciated it, thx.

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

Let’s step back to the basics first. I’d do an extrusion multiplier test and a temperature tower to find the right settings for your machine. Are you getting artifacts? Ringing? That’s why I suggest those two steps first

[@wilsoncruz149]

@@WhereNerdyisCool thank you, I'm somewhat new at this 3d print thing so bear with me a little, so my temp tower even at 180 (filament recomends 190) there's still curling on the fine overhangs and I'm having horrible stringing, I increased the speed of the print thinking that the issue might be the heat extrusion from the nozzle but still, the issue is there, the really strange thing is that I printed with the ERYONE regular silk and basically "standard" PLA setting and have absolutely no issues, now could it be that this specific spool I'm using might be "defective" I do have other color however I don't want to open them before resolving this issue....

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

I find the silk materials are tougher on the overhangs as well. Temperature is a huge part of stringing, as is retraction
