This could be “Die Swell” where something that’s cold extruded through a nozzle swells in size after it comes out the nozzle. While this is definitely an extreme example it is possible to get 2x expansion.
Check your temps and the temps of the new material.
They look like they are off the roll because it’s from when you load the filament. The top one is 0.6mm and the bottom is 1.2mm and both are from 1.75mm filament trough a 0.4 nozzle at 230.
It could be that the glossy filament expands when it is run too hot? When you print normally with it, it doesn’t expand the same way. It’s still messier than other filaments when printing details tough.
glossy filament
See my other comment. It will probably print just fine.
Don’t worry too much about it. It’s all about how you use it!
Thats what she said!
In my experience fiber content has a lot to do with this.

Ive seen silk filament do this when purged. The pet outer layer formed a sack and the pla inside expanded it. That being said it does look like 3mm filament from the spool.
