Variable width warning when using the Capricorn tube.

Not recommended for serious use. The color is good but it breaks in the extruder. I've never had silk that would tear so easily. My extruder is set and "free" to generate enough pressure to push it in and out. It breaks about every 15m right after the extruder, which is very frustrating. I won't buy it again, you get what you pay for. Update: The issue is coil width consistency. It fluctuates too much and causes a jam in my Capricorn's tube.

More of a matte gold than a shiny gold but still a nice color and a smaller size for realism.

I just bought my first 3D printer and it's a Creality V2 and I didn't know there were different size filaments, 1.75 and I think 2.75 was different. I bought three colors and this was the only one that was really right. It seems to be working fine, but I'm pretty sure I have a custom air on my printer and I need to work on it to get it right and balanced or something like that. It's kind of a pain putting it together.

Crashed right away. Wouldn't recommend it.

The first print clogged the printer shortly after the first layer was applied. I cleaned it and tried to print again and it clogged again after the first layer. I've printed with several other brands of filament (Giantarm, Hatchbox, Sunlu) but this was my first Revain filament. I had no problems with other silk threads like this one. I also had no further problems after that when switching to other threads with the same settings. I do not recommend. In case anyone is interested, I use Prusa…
