What Brand of Silver PLA ?

I am looking for some Silver PLA, the brightest, most metallic I can get.... I'm guessing that means a "Silk Silver", but I don't want to end up with a dull grey.... The closest to freshly cast lead I can get would be ideal.... What have you used that gives you a nice silver part?....

I can tell you what NOT to get...... I bought some Rambery, silk shiny silver PLA because it was less expensive than the others. The finish turned out like brushed aluminum, but it was much more 'stringy' than other PLA filiments I have used. We printed a slinky to test it out, and though it worked and looked cool, the striging and layer adhesion turned out to be more of an issue than it was worth. (note: the same print setting with black Hatchbox PLA turned out fine)
I believe most of the 'silk' PLA products out of China are likely made in the same facility. I am not an expert, but the filament I have purchased for around $26 have turned out to be better products than the $17 discount stuff. Likley another case of "you get what you pay for".
My 2 cents.

PS. if you have any desire to try this Rambery Silk Shiny Silver PLA, I'll be more than happy to send some to you Bob (just PM me). Maybe you'll have better results than I did.
