Doesn't look like the pics but is my GO TO filament for Quality and Ease of Printing
I'm fairly certain that ALL of the filament pictures from sellers online are actually WHITE filament with some photoshop magic. I demonstrated this on Reddit, it doesn't take much skill to do.With that said the Blue something whatever, let's just call a spade a space, its medium blue and pinkish-purple, but still looks great. I found hotter temps will give it more shine and oooohhhh ahhhh factor.Overall the stuff just prints like buttah, so smooth and flat, I don't even have to think about. Even if I hear a little popping, I can look at it and everything looks flawless., I assume any popping at that point is just trapped air for the bowden 6mm retracts at 85mm/sec.I've had 1 jam from this when running a really high infill but I wasn't watching the print at the time to know why exactly it happened, AND i just ran some total junk filament before that and that stuff would jam like crazy cause the stupid glitter confetti in it, so I'm gonna go ahead and blame that.It's actually printing right now and its magnifique

Updated review-I love this product
Update below the negativeI was absolutely blown away by the beautiful colors on the spool. It arrived and looked just as gorgeous in person. But from first print, I have had issues with adhesion. Finally just had to spray hairspray on the print bed to get it to stick. Cool, problem solved. But now, it has gotten tangled on the spool 2x. I am so glad I noticed the sound because my print was at 23 hours when there was a tangle and no filament was coming out. I had to cut it, untangle, and re feed. Then, I had another print going. 5 hours in, boom another tangle. Out of the dozens of filaments I have used, this has never happened. I wanted to love this based on the colors alone but I just can't. I boxed it back up and likely won't touch it again unless it's a small print.UPDATE: The seller reached out to me and sent me a new spool, free of charge due to the issues I stated above. I really put the new spool to the test and did a 64.8 hour print that used 451grams. And it worked flawlessly. It turned out beautiful. I can officially say this stuff is back to being my favorite and the seller is top notch. The large crystal dragon printed with this spool

Great Looking Prints
Great prints without any problems no stringing on the prints. Only problem found is that the spool seems to be a little big to fit inside the Bambu AMS as it will scrap the top and won't allow the spool to move.

Might need to increase your print temp.
I got the rainbow version. I really like how it looks. The slight transparency allows the glitter imbedded to give the print an otherworldly feel to it.But it clogs at 195-200c. So don't go too cool with it.EDIT: After much more use of this filament, I have decided I need to revise my review. In addition to looking pretty, I have realized it has some very nice mechanical properties.It really does not like to grab onto metal. I messed up and assembled a hotend wrong. I got through half a print before I realized, and this stuff just did not care, it printed fine anyway. Under those circumstances, any other filament would have clogged a dozen ways. When I did realize my mistake, the stuff just popped out without any fuss. No residue, no gummy scraping, it was bliss.If the ratio of colors was a little better, I would give it 6 stars out of 5. It leans a little green, and lacks any prominent red. But for how good of a material it is, I am willing to accept that minor hiccup.

Nice product once you get used to it.
Like most filaments with color changing gradients you just need to figure out the best temperatures for the best results. Once you dial that in it looks great.

Product quality has gone from great to horrible
BEWARE OF THIS PRODUCT AT THE MOMENT!As a professional 3D printing company with 30 Bambu printers I've ordered many hundreds of rolls of LOCYFENS, their starry rainbow, starry blue purple, and red black gold are our top-selling colors. I don't know what has happened but the latest batches of these colors are terrible. Bed adhesion is out the window and print head clogs are through the roof. Went through two rolls of Red, Black, and Gold and got one successful print out of over a dozen attempts. Just ordered 5 more rolls with the same issue. We normally print 4 items at a time and now we're having to print 1 item on each printer so we don't lose so much filament due to failed prints.Great colors, but something has gone wildly wrong with this company's filament in the latest batches we've received. If something doesn't change soon, we'll be forced to discontinue these highly popular colors.

Pretty, but very temperemental (Or not?)
UPDATE: It was a heat creep issue, lol. Had to replace my extruder fan recently and I put it on backwards! It’s now printing splendidly at 195 nozzle and 60 bed on my Sovol SV03.OLD:I’ll add pictures once I’m done.Of my 4 color pack, I've used the RedGoldBrown and the BlueSilver so far. My best results were at 205 nozzle, 65 bed, glass bed with glue stick, and no speed above 10 mm/s. My best print and some others failed with bed warpage, but I'll attribute that to not having a heat trapper. My other issues was the same mentioned as AA's review where the filament would randomly stop, but printed fine once I pulled out the filament and put it back in. My sneaking suspicion is the filaments pulled in a lot of moisture compared to my other filaments, but I do not have a dehydrator yet to see if that fixes it.Otherwise, it's very pretty and silky! I'm keeping the other two sealed for now until I get an enclosure and more knowledge of how to troubleshoot this. I hope this is helpful!

Colours dull and nothing like the photo
Have been very excited awaiting this delivery as the photo shows bright vivid rainbow colours and I have been searching for a bright vivid transition however it is nothing like the photos sadly. Dull pastel type washed out colours and messy winding in places not what I expected at this price budget.
