Recently started trying Silk PLA filaments for the first time. This was printed with Eryonone Silk Rainbow PLA. The glossy sheen seems to come out well, but there is this odd banding/striping as the hue changes sometimes.
I’ve printed with several Eryone matte filaments and I haven’t seen this. Could this be a defect with the filament, or do my settings for silk still need some work?

Though I’ve never encountered this I have heard that it can be caused by the fillament twisting on its way to the extruder. Maybe try makeing sure the fillament doesn’t make any really twisty turns. Edit: ah wait I thought this was dual extrusion filement, nevermind
How does the sections of the filament with the hue change look?
I don’t see any way this is anything but a filament issue, it’s not like your print head could print a layer after the layer on top of it…
fwiw, I’ve had similar issues with some multicolor filaments, I think sometimes they just aren’t made quite right but still pass QA.
