The honest bit
Every material has tradeoffs. Here's Silk PLA's full scorecard — the good, the meh, and the wrong-tool-for-the-job.
Where it shines

- Gold and copper read as genuinely metallic
- Hides layer lines on curved surfaces
Worth knowing
- Layer adhesion slightly below plain PLA
- Shine hides best on curves, not flat plates
