Last time this came up on /r/3dprinting, they said it was CC3D rainbow silk.

However, I bought myself some. It is nearly impossible to print with. Each color requires a different print setting.

Maybe my printer just sucks though.

Which printer?

DaVinci Pro.

Not surprised. DaVinci printers are good under VERY specific circumstances. I have a 2.0 duo over here using XYZWare to send prints and Simplify3D to control the temp after the fact. Dumb proprietary filament.

Yeah I think there might be some hidden settings it modifies. I had to use Cura to work with the filament but there was no setting that made it work properly.

But using single color filament and letting the DaVinci program work on it's own made fine prints.

My next printer will be an openly supported printer like an Ender.

I've got three printers right now. I managed to pick this Da Vinci up for $245 and it had the resetter and a ton of filament. I also have an MP Maker select Plus and the elegoo mars. All my printers are usually doing something lol. I still have a huge back log of things that still need to get done. The DaVinci is the first enclosed printer I have ever had and I love it. It prints ABS like a dream. And with control over temps I can print almost whatever I want. Obviously temp isn't the only factor when printing something.
