Recently started trying Silk PLA filaments for the first time. This was printed with Eryonone Silk Rainbow PLA. The glossy sheen seems to come out well, but there is this odd banding/striping as the hue changes sometimes.
I’ve printed with several Eryone matte filaments and I haven’t seen this. Could this be a defect with the filament, or do my settings for silk still need some work?
I don’t see any way this is anything but a filament issue, it’s not like your print head could print a layer after the layer on top of it…
fwiw, I’ve had similar issues with some multicolor filaments, I think sometimes they just aren’t made quite right but still pass QA.
Cool toilet bro.
You are talking about that blue stripe?
That far out from the transition I think thatust be a filament coloring error.
I assume that is because of the model you are printing and a bit because of the filament itself. Some layers seem to need more filament (top, bottom layers) then there might be infill and then there is the hollow part. The more filament per layer the faster the color transitions. I assum the darker red band towards the bottom is just part of the filament. If you want the smoothest transition you should print something that has pretty consistent layers like either something solid (infill is okay as long as it isn’t something like adaptive infill) or a vase mode print.
I would definitely do some calibration with that pla. Silk pla can be tricky to print.
