Has anyone used these with a Bambu A1? Was reading that you have to tinker around with you settings if you want good results with silk filament.
Silk is fine with any printer as long as you don't expect it to print like regular PLA. Silk likes it slow and hot. Can't just pound it out like regular filament.

That depends on your expectations and your model. Sometimes you have to slow down the outer wall to 100, or slower, to get a lot more shine. Try default silk settings, and if it's not to your liking, adjust. This is how 3D printing works.

I've used Sunlu and various other different brands of Silk PLA with my A1M and I always just run the stock Bambu Lab Silk profile. Never had any issues with any of them.
I've also used a ton of Sunlu regular PLA, PLA+, and more recently the PLA+2.0. I just run all of them with the Standard Bambu Lab PLA Basic profile. I've tested the generic profile, and even custom profiles, but the stock Bambu PLA Basic profile works just as good as anything else for me.
I had such good results with the PLA+2.0 that when they finally had most of the colors in stock on their website, I ordered 10kg in various colors. With a small discount they came out to under $14/spool with free shipping, which was surprisingly quick as well.

The latest Studio update there are profiles for (most) Sunlu filaments and they seem to work well. There's a Sunlu PLA+ Silk and it works great for me so far on my A1s.

I am literally midway through this entire set right now, bought it at this price about 3 weeks ago. In general I'm sorta meh on Sunlu (I usually prefer Elegoo & eSun) but this set has been a pleasant surprise! Nicely wound, prints really smoothly, and I compared the Gold to a Jayo I have and it came out identical. Wouldn't hesitate recommending it wholeheartedly.
One important note, they look good, especially the red, but be aware the blue is a bit lighter than I was expecting. Definitely more on the sky blue end of the spectrum.
If you want the best results, slow down the outer layers (first, top, outside) to 30 m/s. Makes the print longer but you'll get that shininess. Happy printing!

I used the Sunlu Silk Silver on my A1 Mini at 25mm/s on every setting except for Support at 150mm/s and Support interface at 80mm/s(I left travel and acceleration speeds at default as well as anything else that was already below 25mm/s like overhang speed at 10mm/s). I printed a roughly 4ft high Starship with Booster and it looks like glass and doesn't even look like a 3d print. Printed at 0.08mm at 210c and bed at 60c. Retraction length at 0.4mm and retraction speed at 30mm/s. Obviously takes awhile at that slow of speed, but who cares? I want my prints looking as good as possible.

Also, I looked at a few reviews and one of them said you need a harden hot end to use this set.
