I like the Shiney

Pros:
✅ Aesthetic Appeal – The added sparkle gives prints a unique, eye-catching finish, making it great for decorative or display pieces.
✅ Easy to Print – Like regular PLA, it doesn’t require a heated bed and prints at similar temperatures (typically 190-220°C).
✅ Good Layer Adhesion – Maintains the solid layer bonding typical of PLA.
✅ Minimal Warping – Unlike ABS or PETG, PLA Sparkle is relatively warp-resistant.

Cons:
⚠️ Nozzle Wear – The glitter particles can be abrasive over time, so using a hardened steel nozzle (instead of brass) is recommended, especially for prolonged use.
⚠️ Slightly Brittle – May be more brittle than standard PLA due to added particles.
⚠️ Layer Visibility – The sparkle effect can highlight layer lines more than standard PLA.

Ideal Uses:
✨ Cosplay Props
✨ Figurines & Miniatures
✨ Holiday Decorations
✨ Custom Jewelry
✨ Unique Gifts & Displays
