I can’t get a photo of what I’m talking about right now, which is very unhelpful I know, but essentially, with reflective filament, something that should look metallic just looks like a load of stripes, due to walls and top layer print direction alternation.

It’s fine on steeper slopes, but anything that has say half a cm between the layer steps, it just looks ‘really wrong’. I am using cura, but also have other slicers available eg prusa and superslicer.

Thanks in advance!
