There are two things that is necessary to get good results from transparent filament, and that is:
1. DRY YOUR FILAMENT! Its always a good idea to do so, and with transparent filament its even more important. Dry it, dry it a lot and dry it again.
2. Tune your settings. For best results, print sloooow, and do a few test prints to dial in the correct speed, temperatures etc for your printer.
I first neglected this filament because I got bad results. A good while later after gaining more experience I tried again. After 5 or so test prints with various settings, dry time etc. I landed on something worked pretty well. Overall, the two rules I wrote above is the most important when dealing with transparent filament.
I have given it four stars, but that is after dailing it in. The description does state (not super direct) that you need to print slow, but a better emphasis on this would be great.
Glitter, in general, is one of the worst filaments for your nozzle. I don't know how this one compares to others, just that I had a bad experience with this. I had multiple failed prints that were "extruder issues" with this filament, where the nozzle became clogged and the extruder could not push any more filament. The last time I used this, I couldn't even clear the clog with the highest temp my printer could do, and had to get a replacement.
An issue that was my fault, but demonstrated the brittleness, was the spool pulled itself off the AMS and hit the floor. The loaded filament was broken, which I had to clear, but further prints kept failing. After my last clog, and the repeat problems, I just threw the spool away.
Before the cracks and clogged nozzles, the prints were actually pretty good. It worked well as a diffuser for a small LED light.
This filament prints well, but has rather less glitter than expected (I was looking for a very cold sunny-day powder snow like glitter - which it isn't). Perhaps spray-on glue-glitter will make up the difference.
Print quality was great. Would share what Im making if it wasnt for Xmas gifts. But I love how it comes out
