Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ Enhance Your 3D Printing Experience with XVICO Filament Consumables by Jeff Jackson

Slow color change. These "demonstration " objects are either SOLID or not from this coil.

If you want your items that take less than 24 hours to print to change color, look elsewhere. This isn't your thread. However, this thread prints very well. This is the first coil I've bought for the Ender 3 that I've rebuilt (better, stronger, faster). The colors on it work METER at once with slow transitions. Just look at the coil from the side. So true. They have layers and layers of the same or very similar color. Simple math shows that each color travels about forty feet: Current diameter of my coil = 6 inches Circumference = 18.85 inches Number of turns 25 (probably more, I'm not counting) Bare minimum amount of green thread left on this layer = 39 ,27'. I'm currently about 90% done with 12.84 meters / 7 hours of pressure. It is a solid color and little changed tones from the last 8 hour print that followed the 2 hour print. If these three items weren't next to each other, you'd swear they were exactly the same. The demonstration objects in the photographs cannot be made with *this* thread unless they are completely solid. , 100+ hours of printing. Do not get me wrong. It's still fun if you don't want all your small objects to be the same color. In fact, I printed a fake Igus cable chain - three careful links at a time - and it turns out a very cool gradient from one end to the other. However, it is extremely subtle.
