Glitter filaments - Recommendations, experiences, brands, etc...

I just received my Mini, and this is my first Prusa product so far. I'm astonished by the print quality 😍...

So I printed successfully with the shipped Prusament samples (Galaxy Black and some green filament). I am in love with how the Galaxy Black looks, it is so amazing...

I was so amazed by how the glitter looks, that I ordered a sample of Filament PM Graphite Black, which is very similar to Prusament's Galaxy Black, made in CZ and less costly - but unfortunately I was not able to print without clogging up my nozzle 😭.

  • I choose this brand because Prusa worked with Filament PM in the past (I don't know if they still do) which was a big plus for my brand decision.
  • The brand advises a printing temperature of 200-220º, so I printed the first layer at 215 and the rest at 210.
  • ...they also advise to use a nozzle size of 0.5mm or larger so I may be deserving these results 😉.

So, summarizing, I would like to ask you to share your printing experiences with glitter filaments, mainly:

  1. What brands did you succeed? And if you did, was it with stock mini?
  2. Do you advise changing the nozzle size for such filaments? What kind of nozzle do you suggest? 0.5mm, 0.6mm?
  3. Any special recommendations/notes?

Much appreciated!
