Anyone have any favorite "wow factor" filament? Recently picked up a clear filament with rainbow streaks through it and was wondering what other cool stuff is hiding out there!

I really love this one:

I did the “black” pieces for a chess set in it and they look so cool.

I did the “white” pieces in this:

Wow I definitely need to check out that black one. What a great project idea too!

It’s actually more a dark purple. It’s really nice (if a bit expensive). The chess set came out really well, this is the one I printed: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:470700

There's a few wood ones that come out looking surprisingly well.

Any links for these? I have been curious about wood filaments for a long while and don't know which one to try first.

I just looked and the one i used are no longer sold. heres one pic though.

Edit: added final product

[–] Balakirev@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That looks great. Did you use any particular nozzle to get that to come out so clean? I've heard wood can get clogged up pretty easily
