OK PLA but ---
This is listed as PLA PRO filament. My idea of PLA PRO would be similar to PLA+ but this is not really strong enough to be ranked up with PLA+ or the one I really need but is very expensive, MatterHackers Tough PLA and this is the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. I print a small part in silver to mount on chrome plated rods. I normally use MatterHackers Tough PLA as this can be threaded for 4-40 set screws and they hold tightly without stripping unless you REALLY crank down super hard on the setscrew wrench. Most brands of PLA+ will come close to this strength and so will several of the other manufacturers PLA PRO named filaments (manufacturers deliberately left out here as I'm not reviewing their filament, only the Ziro Silver PLA PRO).Other than that, the Ziro PLA PRO prints very nicely with smooth texture and consistent prints. It is suitable for just about everything else than something to be directly threaded for set screws and the like.Would I buy it again? Yes but not for the reason I initially purchased this roll.

Finally Love at first Print!
Printer Robo3D R1+Hotend E3Dv6Nozzles : .25, .3, and .450-70 mm/sec print speedsAs specified in other Ziro Reviews... Ziro is now my GO TO filament. I really love this stuff!.. If might be one of the best quality filaments I have used.I buy filaments all over the place and I would categorize all of them as* Crap (You just cant print anything with those no matter what temp you use) Excelvan Yuk!* 220c+ Need High temp to get them to print right (No name filaments, lots of e Bay items)* 206c-216c Middle of the road, but way great filaments (eSun, Foxsmart, etc)* 204c or less Ziro (yes, it's own category) Ziro will jam if you print very low layer heights .15 or less with a high temp. My guess is that the heat travels up this filament a littler easier than other PLA's and this will cause it the melt a little higher up the heat break. (if printed too hot) If you print fast and at a layer height larger than .2, or .3, or .4 you may be extruding faster than the heat can travel up the filament. It took me a long time to figure this out. My first roll of Ziro was green PLA and I printed some items that had sharp threads. Wow I was taken a back when I seen how accurate this filament prints. It even made me change my print profiles because I was getting such decent prints with it.The fact that Ziro is a lower temp PLA is not an issue it's just a property of this filament. It also may be why it is so silky smooth and has a hard to describe but very wonderful dull luster! I really like this look. It makes items printed have a more "Professional" look. Place a 3D printed item next to a injection molded item and high quality plastics to me have a lower shine. Example: look at the bezel around your monitor. That is the "pro" shine I see in Ziro Filaments.

Good stuff
My first time purchase of the Ziro brand, needed some bronze color PLA for a print, and not wanting to spend top dollar for a filament I'm not going to use on a daily basis, so I shopped around for best price and ratings. Cost was about 1/2 the price of my favorite PLA brand. When it arrived I loaded it on my A10 and hit print using Gcode generated for Cura generic PLA settings. Print ran for 8 hours or so and job done. I had tiny amount of stringing, but did not attempt to make any adjustments other than raise nozzle temperature at the start to 200 deg's, and the job ran just fine. Easy filament to work with and with some tweaking of settings I'm sure the stringing wouldn't be an issue. Comes with a nice zip seal bag for storage and no-eat-um's for moisture control. Overall, a very good filament experience and will need to check out their other colors in the future.

Tolerance issues and inconsistant but does print
This filament is a great for those who are on a budget. This filament is comparable to other popular brands in this price range, but are not as easy to get dialed in and does not have the surface quality that those other filaments have. I was able to get some pretty decent prints with this filament, but not perfect. There were some layer inconsistencies and diameter fluctuations of 1.67mm-1.85mm. The color is very nice and has a metallic look to it. Now this could have just been a bad roll but I also bought the gold PLA from them that does not have such a large difference in diameter throughout the roll. The spools that they use are clear, which I think is awesome. You always know how much filament you have left just by looking at it. On my Geeetech Mecreator 2, I printed with this filament at 195-200C with a bed temp of 60C on PEI. Never had any adhesion issues with this filament. All in all, this is not a horrible filament and I think I may have just gotten a bad roll but with that being said, for the same price you can get filament from some other brands that are a bit better with their tolerances and produce better surface finishes than the Ziro filament did. I have a video review of this filament up on my youtube page, 1HandTech, if you want to check that out. I would like to get more filament from Ziro to review just to see if this was an isolated issue, or if it is just not very good. In the mean time though I would suggest spending the money for filament on some other more well known brands.

Excellent filament with minor winding problems.
The filament is excellent. It is much stronger than silk metallic filament. Unlike the silk filament, it is not brittle at all. It is not shiny as the latter, though. I feel very confident to use it. The only pitfall is it has an issue of its winding to cause unwinding problem during extrusion. According to the seller, they have fixed that in the new production batches. If it is the case, this filament will be worth a 5 star rating.

Ordered two colors-neither was right
I ordered this ahead of time and just noticed that my bronze filament is white and my white filament is ivory. Sure wish I had opened and looked At these when they came in. No idea of the quality yet but we’re off to a rocky start. If I could return it, I would.Update: The product in the box marked "Bronze" wasn't even the same brand, so it was Amazon fulfillment that messed up, not the seller. I'm changing my rating based on how totally responsive the seller was in dealing with my issue. I would buy from them again without hesitation.

Great PLA
This PLA came well packaged and included a Ziploc bag to store it in when not being used. I am using this PLA with my Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus which has a glass bed and a full metal Micro Swiss hotend. The best temps are 210/50 and 210/0 as this sticks to a cold glass bed.I have had no issues with this filament at all and the prints I have done so far have turned out perfect. I really do like this brand and the colours are really good and do match the picture shown in the ad. I will be buying more for sure.

Tangled
Had several of these with no issues, prints well and looks ok for a cheap silver. However the last one has used about two thirds of the roll fine but then the rest of it seems to be wound very poorly on to the spool causing it to keep tangling and has ruined several prints now. So the value for money versus the more expensive ones is out of the window anyway. The attached photo is how how I found it this morning with a ruined print waiting for me.

This is great PLA
This is great PLA! It arrived on time and was well packaged and came with a spare Ziplock bag to store the spool between uses. I am using it with my Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus which has a Micro Swiss all metal hotend and a heated bed. The best temps I have found for my machine are 210/50 or 3210/0 as this PLA does stick to a cold build plate. The Colour is as shown and the prints I have done so far are almost perfect. I highly recommend this PLA.

OUTSTANDING!!
You cannot go wrong with Ziro Filament, the print quality is outstanding and leaves great results for painting. This is by far my favorite brand of filament, i have used many of the colours now and never had a single issue. I find bed temp 60 and hotend temp 210 is perfect.

Astounding quality for the price 👍🏻
Excellent PLA, much cheapness too.I’ve been using it mostly to make scenery for war games, but wife wanted a Buddha and the photo shows the result. Stock Ender3, 210 nozzle temp with initial bed temp set at 62, dropping to 55 after first layer, Cura 3.6, .12mm layer height, 50% infill running at 60mms and no supports. STL downloaded from Thingiverse.Fantastic result, so impressed I’m making this my ‘goto’ Filament.My one gripe and the reason I only gave 4 stars is the roll the filament comes on is Chamfered on one edge, if like me you use a roller guide for you’re filament rolls, this chamfered edge snags the bearings it sits on pulling the whole thing towards the printer... 🙄
