I Think I've Found the Worlds Ugliest Filament...

As the title says... I think I've found the worlds ugliest filament. It probably isn't but it's really close.

Filament: Polymaker Panchroma PLA Ying-Yang 1/2 Galaxy Black & 1/2 Marble White

it's one of those co-extruded filaments where the colors are side by side. Below is a picture of some prints I tried to see if there's something I can use this for since the color combo just makes prints look like they've been collecting dust for a couple of years. Probably good for Halloween stuff. 😆

Guess I'll file this under... won't be using this anytime soon. 

Post up your ugliest filaments and let's compare or at least create an ugly filament resource so others don't fall into the same pit of despair. 😅

Gives it sort of a dry brushed effect highlighting the edges - except with FDM printing there are a LOT of edges you don't want to draw attention to.

I checked out the various color combos on their page for this filament - a lot of them but not many that seemed attractive.  The example model for some of the filament variants was not all that great either which makes me think "If they can't get this to print well..."

I use the same filament and it gives me a cool zebra effect or one side is white and the other black.  I’m actually printing something with it right now.  I don’t have any prints readily available to take a picture of but I’ll post one when it’s finished.IMG_2606.thumb.png.d1e8cfb72b61fb903bdf829151d477c4.png

Looks like you've got some warping going on to the right. Or is that just an optical illusion?

Just an illusion, the mirror like build plate surface, crappy lighting and wonky camera angle makes me think there’s a problem all the time
