I don't know. Do those machines look the same color of grey (of course, accounting for yellowing!) when stacked on top of each other? I don't a 200 series machine, so I don't know. If yes, then yes. If no, then no. And, if no, if someone wishes to loan one to me temporarily (a couple of...

This is the grey for Power Book 500 series machines. They have a sample to do the more popular 100 series and should be getting to that soon.

Look for ColorFABB RAL7044 out of Netherlands.

I elect that you call it "Hit it with a defrag!"

WOAH! Pumpkintosh: 68030 @ 47.23 Mhz, 64MB RAM, System 7.1. She's a bit tricked out, but it's remarkably fast.

At the risk of sounding crude: it's worth at most $5,000.

Hey! I'm the guy in the article who did the color match with Polar Filament. tl;dr: Clean your print bed with isopropyl alcohol before every print. Nozzle temp of 220c. Raise the "first layer" bed temperature to 65c. DO NOT use glue. I use the Bambu X1C, 0.4mm nozzle. I slice with OrcaSlicer...

Here's what the color matching of the new Polar Filament Retro Platinum looks like under different lighting conditions, and in comparison to the other common filaments for this use. The speaker box on which these items are sitting is the item used for the color matching. PF = Polar Filament...

The best alternative outside the United States is ColorFABB RAL 7044, but its very pricy. The price is what pushed me to find a less expensive supplier. Polar Filament will sell outside North America - you just have to contact them directly.

Yup, I know!

I'll let them know.

The closest RAL standard color is RAL 7044. This has been established for a couple of years now (also by me). I matched it using a nix Mini 2 color sensor, getting an RGB value, then cross referencing that to the RAL color standard. We had been getting filament from ColorFabb in the Netherlands...

The update is: Polar Filament has color matched Mac Platinum filament in stock now, for $21.99 per KG. That's it. That's the update! I ran into Chris Auger at the SEMVCC meetup this year. He noticed the SE Mini case I had and asked about the color. I told him the story about ColorFABB. He...

ColorFABB is available but: a) it's expensive b) If you are outside the EU, you have to contact them from their contact page and request a quote, because their website doesn't ship outside the EU. https://colorfabb.com/silk-grey-ral-7044 If your printer is printing PanChroma better than mine...
