Well done video. One trick I've done to get a more dramatic color change is to print multiple copies at the same time. Fill up the build plate and you'll see more color change -- and have more things...
another reason why transition length is good to know is that depending on slicer settingz you can drastically change how much filament a modal will use.
been 3d printing for only a few months and i decitry giantarm filament they had a very nice silk blue . to my amazement the print came out perfect and the color was spot on. tried a silk gold color two weeks later and had same results . this filament compony seems to make good quality filament at a great price ! I will continue to try different colors, i hope they dont disappoint !
Extremely helpful video. Thank you. Was feeling nothing but frustration looking through options on Amazon for faster transitioning rainbow filaments and this helps me figure it out a lot better.
This was super helpful, thanks so much! I'm printing a dragon with Sunlu's 3D printing filament (I'd already ordered and received it before finding this video), and while the filament has been very easy to use, the color shift has been much more gradual than I anticipated or wanted, so I'm definitely going to retain this video for my own use and to help others with.
Excellent video! This has helped me a lot! I always forget about transition length when buying. So far I have printed in Eryones metalic Silk pla and it's so pretty! But, I had to print three objects to get though one full transition. They were small and totally adorable. I have 2 more (One non metallic rainbow and cookie cads mermaid) to print something fun with.
Have you had luck with the silk pla from eryone? I had a bad time with it and wondering what your settings were for it. Also the cookiecads mermaid looks amazing! how did you get on with that?
Hopefully the filament manufacturers will come up with a standard way of labeling filament attributes along with a standard for representing those attributes in both human and machine readable form.
awesum video thanks so much, so many words that are very similar but mean vastly different things when it comes to product, was trying to find co extrusion for ages but couldnt search for it because didnt know what it was called :')
That vase with the lattice on the outside that was the smooth transition, can you tell me what brand and color that was? I love it, you held up the spool for a few seconds but even blowing it up I cannot read the label (it's a blue label with white text on a clear roll if that helps). Thanks
The slicer also shows you how many meters of filament you will use for print. Then you can determine how many transitions you will get in your print for the specific school or filament.🤔
nice video, I bought 3 different silk rainbow filaments and they have all been too weak and split at the layers, whats a strong rainbow filament you use?
great video, the peacock silk pla, what was your settings? i have tried multiple silk PLA and they all have been nightmares to work with. no amount of setting changes can get them to print half normal. i am almost giving up on silk PLA. i havent tried the one you mentioned. the OVV3D 3D Printer Filament, Tri-Colors PLA Filament 1.75mm, Coextrusion Silk PLA was by far the worse experience with silk PLA, i almost tossed my ender 3 pro out the window.
I may have missed it in the video but did you happen to mention any of the brand you use? Or were all of your Amazon searches the ones you have? I'm trying to find a rainbow filament that will withstand a flexi print with reasonable strength, enough to fiddle with
I am thinking of buying a tri-color filament for a robot that is supposed to be chrome but I thought it would look nice in shades of gold, silver and copper. Assuming you are looking at a 3d cube, would the tri-color appear to be (for example) gold on top, copper on the side and silver on the front? Or would it appear to be a solid color and transition from gold to silver to copper as your rotate it?
Be careful when it says color change. Sometimes it's temperature color change like a mood ring. I got one that prints green but if you hold it in your hand to warm it, it will turn yellow (also prints yellow since its hot but changes to green when the print is completed and cools)
@@FilamentStories it's very confusing especially since there are so many companies selling filament and they don't all agree on what to call it. And "rainbow" is a term a lot of them use and I don't think they know what that means.
@@mszoomy I agree with you on the overuse of the term “rainbow”. I suspect it’s because it's so it will show up in search results, even though it's inaccurate for a lot of the filaments. I use the word in searches for anything I’m trying to find that’s more than one color myself.
@@FilamentStories lots of stupid irrelevant words get used in titles and descriptions for that reason. It started way back inbebay days. Amazon wasn't too bad until they started letting everyone and their brother in China sell on their platform. It's VERY irritating
That one is by Amolen and it's called the Shiny Multicolor PLA. Here's a video I did on it: ua-cam.com/video/OCol254oA8E/v-deo.html, and here's a link to it on US Amazon (affiliate): amzn.to/3ilqMBz
From Greece I am not sure. I would check the GNVTNTP site and see if they can ship to you. I they are shipping direct to people in other locations so I hope they would be able to get it to you.
I hated Ziru, the color was HORRID! Ugly, not even remotely rainbow and nothing like what was pictured, it was fall colors, oranges, gold's, a little brown. NO purple, blue, pinks or true reds, worst roll of "rainbow" I've ever bought and I took into account that colors look different in person than in a screen image but this stuff was bad, they left off half the color spectrum, and the colors were dull and muddy and that was before printing. Customer service sucked, wouldn't replace the roll, I'm glad I bought it through Amazon

I don't even have a 3d printer... watched the whole thing. Great video 👏👏👏
You need to get one

THIS is the video I have been waiting for! Thank you!! 🌈 I'll make sure this one is added to my bookmarks!
If you're doing a multi print you could do those prints where there are long lengths before transition and get quick color change.
You just open my eyes to different color filament and how to choose for given project. THANK YOU 🙏
Extremely helpful video. Thank you. Was feeling nothing but frustration looking through options on Amazon for faster transitioning rainbow filaments and this helps me figure it out a lot better.
This is an awesome video. It will hopefully help people save a lot of time and money trying to find the right filament.
Thank you for the good video. it really helped me as a beginner, at which important points i have to look when buying rainbow/gradient filament :)
That was AMAZINGLY helpful!!!!
This video is amazingly helpful.

Great video!!! Really well done. Home run.
great video. I can't believe I am just stumbling across this channel.
I’m glad I’m not the only rainbow nut job. I’m printing in the strong hero with the bull while I’m writing this.
Hooray for rainbow filament junkies! I love the Stronghero filament. I have so many Stronghero filaments!
Hopefully the filament manufacturers will come up with a standard way of labeling filament attributes along with a standard for representing those attributes in both human and machine readable form.
Colors are amazing
I just got a lovely roll of ESUN pla matte rainbow. Everything I have printed so far has looked great.
It does have a long transition though. 👍🇦🇺😊
thanks for the helpful information

Awesome video ❤
I was just looking at your voron m01 the whole time, wanna get one myself
Those are cool lookin.
Really cool thanks
Great video thank you
Stronghero Rainbow Galaxy Vertigo ... top notch :)
Thanks!
Very, very informative. Thank you!! However, you've mentioned your likes in specific filaments but where are the model you used them on?
Thank you
I had no idea that glow in the dark transition is a thing.
What is the filament at 2:24 that has the blue label? Thanks for the great review!
That vase with the lattice on the outside that was the smooth transition, can you tell me what brand and color that was? I love it, you held up the spool for a few seconds but even blowing it up I cannot read the label (it's a blue label with white text on a clear roll if that helps). Thanks

I need the filament used for the crystal dragon. Looking for this one for weeks now😢
i wish there was more co-extrusion filaments available, cant get any in canada without paying 90$ for a 0.5KG roll

Wish I saw this a week ago. Me buying my first rainbow filament ended up in a total miss.

Where can I buy the files of the pieces you show?
Hi I wanna ask the name of the vase with lid on 2:17 and where to find it please, thank you.
i would like to know too
Where did you get the rainbow glitter filament?

i am from greece how can i buy such as these filaments??
From Greece I am not sure. I would check the GNVTNTP site and see if they can ship to you. I they are shipping direct to people in other locations so I hope they would be able to get it to you.
