Good quality PLA for 3D printing. It has good adhesion, easy to print and handle like other good PLAs.
The spool came in vacuum sealed with a desiccant pack inside, and the whole thing was boxed to protect it from the adventures of mailing. The spool was not nicely wound up like some high end filaments out there, but I never had any issues with tangling and it unwinds pretty easy.
On my own Artillery Sidewinder X1 (glass bed) I used the following settings: E - 205C, Bed - 70C (I think you can easily go to 60C after the first few layers, but I did not try it).
The layers adhesion is pretty good at these settings and feels strong enough for my likings.
The only downside of this filament is the color change is too "slow". For example, I printed some test models to play with adhesion and those came up the same color. The models were small enough for the color change to notice, they used about 5 meters of the filament only.
Tips to make the color change happen faster: print multiple items in parallel on the same bed or use more infill. I would probably stick with the former option as increasing infill will be probably a waste of material.
Larger objects should come up better. My own rough calculations show it should use at least 15-20 meters of the filament (this parameter is normally visible in your slicer next to the estimated printer time).
Anyway, even for general printing this PLA spool is pretty good for the price. The only suggestion for the manufacturer is to add another version of the same filament with faster color change to support smaller models.

High PrecisionThe diameter of the filament is 1.75mm, and the precision value is +/- 0.03mm. The error area is very small, which can keep the filament extrusion smooth. |
High Printing Success RateXVICO PLA filament uses uniform materials and is easy to print. The surface of the printed object is smooth and shiny. No blockage, no peculiar smell, no lumps. |
Random ColorPlease note that the outer color of our PLA filament is random. You may get other colors like yellow, green, blue, etc. |
Please Pay Attention:
If your printer does not use a few days, please retract the filament.
Store this filament in a dry and sealed bag or box to extend the life of your filament.
When storing the filament, Please pass the loose end through the hole at the edge of the filament reel,this can avoid entanglement. It can be fed correctly when you use it next time.
If I need more multicolor filament, this would be my go to filament.....
Ordering: Seamless with AmazonDelivery Time: Prompt delivery with primeDelivery Packaging: Ordered 2 filaments at the same time, so nicely packaged in a box. If you order just 1 filament, then not sure if they use box or bubble pack for shipping.Product Packaging: Nice sturdy box compared to other similar products. Roll packaged in vacuum seals poly bag. Labels were both on the product and on the box, so nice to trace even if you pitched the box. There is a nice small window cutout on the box that shows the product and you can see filament and its color, so no need to open the box to check the roll you need to use, making you to save the box for product storage especially when you have multiple color rolls in storage.Filament Printing and Printed Product Overview:• Filament is wound nicely on the spool and it didn’t untangle as soon as end is released on the spool• Tested filament on Ender 3 printer with same setting used to print other filaments• Used Cura software for slicing• Same temperature setting of about 200 degrees for extruder and 50 degrees for bed, noticed no difference in printing or bed adhesion issues. Used recommended setting for speed, infill and wall thickness• Printed surface is smooth and no fiber or fine threads that got dragged when head traveled between the walls, so final product is free of any blemish or hanging threads that needs cleaning• 2 color filaments are sold multi color and rainbow color and it’s a random choice for delivery• What I received is a multi color spool• Filament really showed vibrant color and color transformation is very good• On the spool, I would say at least 10 to 12 color transformation making even the small printed model show color changes making it stand out• Model I tested was about 9” tall and compared it to white color and model printed with rainbow color was a show pieceConcern: It would be nice to list multi color and rainbow color as 2 separate products rather than it’s a random delivery choice.Conclusion: Product met or exceeded performance in comparison to other filaments I used on Ender 3 printer. I’m not comparing this filament to other multicolor filaments. When compared to straight color printed models, there is no difference you can see on the surface. Overall I would recommend and buy this filament if I need something printed with color transformation.

Look at the photos, they speak for themselves. My JGAurora A5S has a build volume of 300 x 300 x320 mm, and I'm running a 1 mm nozzle on it. I got the triceratops model off of Thingiverse and upscaled it. The printed model from head to tail is give or take 12-14 inches long. The model has four perimeter walls, and if you look at some of the photos you'll see it has a 20% grid infill and needed a LOT of support material. The print took nearly 800 grams of filament. Consider that a full spool of this filament weighs 1 kilogram (1,000 grams), so I used up just over three quarters of the filament on the spool.
So, if your 3D printer has a small build volume, this filament is going to disappoint you. The filament changes colors every few yards or so, and a small print just isn't going to push enough filament to introduce a color change on your print.
But if you have a 3D printer with even a decent build volume, pick an intricate model that requires support material and/or make the print more solid by adding additional perimeter walls and increasing infill percentage. Choose good settings for your print, and it'll turn out as good or better than the Triceratops I printed!
The triceratops took about 40 hours to print. I had zero issues from this filament. It extruded nicely, stuck well to my printer's glass build plate (smeared with glue) and I had no flow issues (though it's really tough to clog a 1 mm nozzle!). Should I want to print another giant model with unique colors, I'll be back to buy another spool of this filament.
EXCELLENT for LARGE prints. Not so great for small prints.

I held off on buying this for a long time; Seeing "My prints don't have any color change in them!" in so many reviews. I noticed some folks pointed out if you have a large printer and print a big object it'll work great, so I bought a spool to try it for myself.Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2020
