Pros & Cons
Pros
I have my nozzle set at 215 and it is working great. The finer the resolution, the better the shine.
The matte finish also holds paint very well and the matte white seems to hold marker ink nicely. The left cube is the filament from 2019, and on the right is the new orange.
Hot pink for my daughter and teal for me. It is so bright and cheery. The ice blue color it glows is very nice.
Cons
This is not the filament you've been looking for. It's much much more like a vaguely shiny cheddar cheese color. Even my extruder gear chews it up and leaves little filament dust behind.
It is so poorly wound on that it gets tangle to the point of breaking. It's super brittle and prints little pills all over the models with what i think are tiny bits of whatever pigment or solids that gives it its color.
Highlights
Quality
The real testament to me of the quality of the filament is with the winding on the spool
Print quality was better than most plas ive dealt with after a bit of tweaking
With the other filament i had i was using glue and having to calibrate my printer constantly and it was a struggle
A little disappointed since the silk pla amazon listing advertised enhanced toughness
Packaging/appearance
This green petg was perfect for a rose project that i had underway for a friend
Competitiveness
My first time with geeetech filaments looking forward to trying others
I really like geeetech filaments as i’ve tried a few before in the past
1 of their sales i think they deserve a chance
On a dremel 3d45 nozzle temp 225 bed 45

And got this for a project i was working on working okay did have an issue where it kept getting turns out the filament was absorbing water read up apparently silks a little bit more prone to absorbing water than regular pla put it on my dryer for 6 hours at 45 degrees celsius and printed the part again while in the dryer box and print succeeded still have a few more parts to print out of this material to complete the project but other than absorbing water and causing the printer to jam have hadnt had any other issues so that was more of a user error than a material error

If you have settings from a previous silk pla you can probably reuse them with minimal adjustments if any
