It is a nice caramel color for your Benchy. Now I want a caramel apple.
CR-10 Prints are turning out TERRIBLE! Help troubleshooting

If you had a 3D printer you could make assorted caramels. Coffee flavoured for instance. See the link below.

Cool! I wonder if it has coffee smell? The filament looks like specialty pasta.
Is the Scallop filament at scallop market prices??? Not sure I want to smell that one.
Nice find, Artur5.

After reading your post a few earlier, I started watching videos about it, what it does, how to install, etc.
A lot of people are loving what it does for them, but the process of getting it all setup is (currently) outside of my level of patience and commitment.
I'll be better off learning to be more patient with longer prints... hopefully to be more like @The Hat

I went against my better judgment and printed the Benchy as a test run on several of my printers, (Tried) because no matter how bad or good it prints, the Benchy doesn’t reflect how well/poor my printers are printing, I find these test prints a total waste of Feckin time.
I used Ultimaker 4.1 for the slicer, I usually never use this software because it has to many bells and whistles for my liking, I prefer to use the Creality created slicer (CURA clone) that came with the CR-10s and the software from Kingroon KP3 printer too.
I used this for each print..
I tried to copy the same setting that @ninj used but ran into some issues on two of my printers, the older CR-10 halted after 20 minutes with a thermal heat over run, so I couldn’t use that and with the KP3, I was forced to use support everywhere because there was no way of turning it off for that printer.
The CR-10s went well till the Benchy came unstuck and I had to start again, so half way through I switched to black filament to finish, no difference.
It took 2 hours 25 minutes to complete and was full of strings and looked acceptable with no distortion on the curves or chimney, and it ran at 20 mm/s.
The KP3 took 5 hours and 15 minutes to complete, probably because it had to print the support also, I didn’t do anything to the print other than pull off the support, and it ran at 25 mm/s.
KP3 print.. click to enlarge all..
P.S. A lot of my prints usually end up with stringing, and I just clean it off after the print is finished, no big deal..
Here are the two together..

I stayed away from using these favoured filaments so as not to upset @stratman..

In other words, it's not the wand, it's the wizard.
PS I'm good with recycling. The box my McDonalds fish sandwich came in was 37% recycled garbage. I'm recycling all of it, though some will have to wait till tomorrow to find its way to the appropriate receptacle.
