Filament: what's going on here?
I haven't used a great variety of filaments and I was wondering what is going on here. This is Sunlu silk. I've never seen this before. The filament once extruded seems to contract on itself like it has a lot of surface tension creating this. 
As you see the filament I added before this comes out in a normal diameter. This seems to print at a normal diameter, this just happens when extruding filament into the air. What's going on?

I've seen this with the Mika3d PLA metallic filaments. The 'worm' when loading the filament will be fat, but the print will be normal. I really don't know what is causing it, but it appears to be very benign.
