Some of the coolest filament out there is silk PLA. I grew to be interested in it and it was a new challenge. Silk PLA is translucent PLA surrounding a TPU-like core. The two differing materials create an interface within the filament. This interface creates a shiny layer, causing the print to gleam like silk.
I’m a technical person. I wasn’t going to print anything pretty, I was going to calibrate and test the printer, print upgrade parts and print functional parts. And that’s it. Right?

In the first few years of hobby 3D printing, nothing was as neatly packaged as what we have today. I’ve covered aspects of this with the physical machine designs and the quality of filament, but the electronics may truly have been one of the least polished parts of early 3D printers.
