I was recently given some ‘brass’ silk PLA filament. I think it is a bit too orange for an entirely convincing brass effect but it does look gorgeous, particularly with a model like this ‘Japandi’ pencil pot I printed off this afternoon. It isn’t my design (credit to S.Corp. on Makerworld for the model) but it shows off the sheen that earns the ‘silk’ part of the name.

I wasn’t familiar with the ‘Japandi’ label but, having done some further research, it apparently signifies items that combine aesthetics from Japan and Scandanavia. A more muted filament might be a better choice but I’m pleased with the result. As well as showing off the colour, it has a pleasant feel in the hand and enough heft to support it in its intended function.
