Tall prints and vertical surfaces show the dual-color transition best The pearlescent look comes from the dual-color blend along the spool. Orient the model so the transition lands where you want it Keep the spool sealed with desiccant when you are done This finish is for looks. Use it when you want showy gifts, decor, and display pieces more than heavy outdoor wear Good For Figurines, props, and statues that need a dramatic two-tone look Gifts, decor, and display models where the colour shift sells the part Cosplay accents and artistic pieces that benefit from a pearlescent surface Easy PLA jobs on most FDM printers when you want dual-color without multi-material hardware
