    "Platinum" PLA for Macs and Apple ][s

    Interesting. I matched the color to a PB that several people confirmed for me was the correct one to match to. In looking through my collection, I can't find which machine it is, though. (That's right. I literally do not know which unit I matched to.) I took a battery cover off the machine, sent...

    "Platinum" PLA for Macs and Apple ][s

    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.

    New platinum filament...

    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...

    "Platinum" PLA for Macs and Apple ][s

    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...

    "Platinum" PLA for Macs and Apple ][s
