Really nice! Paint the side edges of the segments a different color and you’ll get a cool appearing color effect.

That’s such a great idea. Even better, use white filament for the the 1st layer and use another color filament for all the other layers.

Probably at least the first 2 layers, if you dont want to see the next color through it.
