Inspired by Turbo_SunShine's design, I wanted to go further. I've marked this as a "remix", but the openscad and stl files are original -- just the idea is inspired by TSS
This experiment shows that if you have a multi-material printer, you can use TSS's technique to create a gradient filament. Here, I demonstrate a small 2-material filament section created via openscad. It produces only about ~2g of filament, less than 1 meter.
The OpenSCAD program that produces the files is a piece of junk and takes quite a bit of time to run. As such, it is not feasible to make it into a customizer at this time. (also, I think the scad file doesn't match the stl files provided, oops!)

My sample is made of some "bronze filament" and some glow in the dark PLA. However, you should be creative and try whatever sounds fun.
