Filament Choice
As a noobie, I'm unsure if this is the appropriate sub-forum to post?
I'm interested in printing a dragon in multi-colors so I was looking at various Rainbow PLA 1.75 mm filament to be printed on our Prusa MK4.
Have you found a Rainbow colored PLA you'ved liked for colors and reliability?
I foudn this https://www.amazon.com/Filament-Printing-Materials-Multicolor-Metallic/dp/B07R55GTKX?th=1 .. but I have no epxeicnw ri this Brand SHENGTIAN.
Have you enjoyed better success color-wise and/or printing with https://www.amazon.com/Creality-Filament-3D-Printing-Dimensional/dp/B0BCG3T7L7?th=1 ?
Or perhaps this Rainbow PLA proved better in your experience?

Thank you so much.
RE:
There are two basic types of color changing filament:
One is gradient color change, which changes color every x meter. They usually require a lot of filament and/or large models to see an appreciable change in color.
The other type has two or three colors fused next to each other, so the model changes color when you look at it from different angles. I prefer this type for something like the model you're planning to print. One brand I can recommend highly is Amolen silk tri-color https://a.co/d/6aTbzLO. I used the black blue purple variant recently for articulated dragons, which came out great.
