In the images, there are great results with tri-color filament and putting gold layers as the two layers on the outside section. The layers are explained in the table below. Reference the picture for the 180 twist for the middle layer.


It is worth adjusting the speed if you have picky filament. I needed to slow my top-layers down a bit, but it turned out great.
 

Layers ColorNoteNext Layer Change from start
1-13Multi-Color (across)Take note of the colors that are aligned to the filament input (see picture) as this will be used in the middle layer46m
14-23Gold Silk 1h16m
24-60Multi-Color (across)

In the pictures, I used the rest of a red-green-blue filament, but have used the method below with great results.

Use the same filament from layers 1-13 but when you re-load it, turn it 180 degrees from the horizontal orientation before you reload (see picture yellow-red vs blue-red as it aligns with the input)

3h9m
61-70Gold Silk 3h39m
71-84Multi-Color (across)Use the same orientation as the first layer or rotate it to a different degree for a even more fun effect!DONE!

I call it the “end of day work from home” print. Start it before the last meeting of the day, change it after the meeting, get ready for dinner, change the filament, come back from dinner, change filament, then change filament as I'm winding down for the evening.
