Creality currently offers Soleyin PLA filament in 6 packs for $59.40. If you use the coupon code SLOEYIN06 you will get an additional $6 off, which brings the total price down to $53.40, or $8.90 per roll.
You can choose the colors with some restrictions.
The 6 rolls are divided into three groups of two rolls each, and as I understand it for each group of 2, you can select one color by clicking on the gray box where the filament name is displayed.
For the first two spools, the color options are: Matte Rose Stone (purple), Matte Fluonte (looks like a dual red/blue in the picture), and Matte Moonstone (blue).
For the next two, you can choose from: Strawberry Milk (red), Rosehip (orange), and Light Green.
The last two reels are available in: Matte Moonstone (blue), White, Grey, Greenery, Black, and Matte White.

But it also doesn't adhere to other filaments well at all. It's basically all matte, which already has its own adhesion issues. But this is the first filament I've had where if it print something on top of it (e.g. - raised text) I can just peel whatever printed right off. Nothing seems to stick to it except itself from my experience.
But I printed dozens of mini placards for an event using several different colors and so long as the build plate was clean, everything printed spot on.
Is it the best filament? hell no. am i getting my $7/kg out of it from the last deal? yes.
I've never had to dry it but my ambient humidity is pretty low and I'm pretty particular about how I store all of my filament (dry boxes with desiccant etc).
I think it prints really well and I'd agree with the high adhesion. I don't mind that as I'd rather it stick more than not enough.
I have been using it via an AMS on my P1S.
I think this is an excellent deal and if I hadn't overbought on my prior orders, I'd be in for more this time around.
Also their rosehip color (which actually looks like orange) gets stuck on the build plate like no other. pulling it off often break the print, and takes me forever to remove the residue from the heat plate with a heat gun and a scraper. I had to use glue stick to help it to be less sticky.

If anyone here wants to unload their unwanted Suleyin, drop me a line. Seriously. I'll cover shipping and give you something for the filament that you hate. 🙂
But when we tried using ironing to get a smooth surface, the filament burns (white filament). Tried dropping the temps but that caused various other issues. So the only way it works for us is to not use ironing.
