Review on XVICO 1.75mm 3D Printer Filament by Chef Deane

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If I need more multicolored yarn I would choose yarn.

Order: Seamless with Revain Delivery time: Immediate delivery with PrimeDelivery Packaging: Ordered 2 filaments at a time so they are nicely packed in the box. If you only order 1 thread you are not sure if they will use a box or bubble wrap for shipping. Product packaging: Nice strong box compared to other similar products. The roll is packed in a vacuum plastic bag. The tags were on both the product and the box so it was a pleasure to trace even if the box broke. There is a nice little window on the box that shows the product and you can see the thread and its color, so you don't have to open the box to check the reel you need to use, which allows you to store the box to store the product, especially if you have several paint rolls in stock. Overview of filament printing and printed products: • The filament winds well on the spool and does not come loose once the end on the spool is released. • The filament was tested on an Ender 3 printer with the same settings as when printing other filaments. • Using Cura slicing software • No difference in pressure issues or platform sticking was observed with identical temperature setting around 200 degrees for the extruder and 50 degrees for the platform. Recommended settings for speed, infill and wall thickness • The print surface is smooth, with no filaments or thin filaments being pulled between the walls by head movement, so there are no stains or hanging filaments to clean up on the final product • 2-color filaments are sold, multi-color and iridescent colors and it's a random choice for shipping • I received a multicolored spool • The filament showed really vivid colors and the color conversion is very good • On the spool I would say at least 10-12 color conversions. even the small printed model shows color changes that make it stand out • The model I tested was about 9 inches tall and compared to white, the rainbow printed model was a showpiece. 2 separate products, no random delivery. Conclusion: The product meets or exceeds other filaments that I have used in the Ender 3 printer. I am not comparing this filament to other multicolored filaments. Compared to models with direct color printing on the surface, there is no difference. Overall I would recommend and buy this filament if I need to print something with color conversion.
