Really bad useless filament. Stay away!

Oct 06, 2019

The layer adhesion is terrible, also clogs up the nozzle like crazy. I have now had 2 failed prints with other filament and everytime I poke through the nozzle some of that brass crap still comes out.. Tried both high and low temp that was on the spool, but even a sime model came out all stringy. Printed parts are extremely weak for breaking too.. Stay away from this filament!

Not sure if that's metal at all

Oct 09, 2017

It printed OK for me using standard PLA settings and I used a heated bed at 60 as recommended on some other sites for metal PLAs. It's a little weird in terms of finish. So I printed a simple ingot and then sanded and polished it (or tried to polish it). When I get the surface totally smooth you can clearly see the path the printer nozzle took. It's as if the metal (if there is any) is a thin strip encased in a clear plastic tube. Not at all what I was expecting.

Terrible.
Its not metal composite, but it looks far better than gold which is just a crappy yellow.
It prints like sht, print it as cold as possible 190 max. Terrible, my first print with this filament was all crappy and didnt even hold together. Then it blocked the nozzle on my other printer. Next time ill spend more on a better quality filament, the only good thing about it is the colour, but that doesnt help if you cant get a good print with it.
