Oh have a package to pick up…

I found an interesting technique which gives good results for flat surfaces, and more work for the rest… The small version here has a curve in the middle of the front face which doesn't help… These units received several tests though… Other options I haven't tried: painting, glossy or matte...

I suppose the iPhone cameras are color corrected in some way. Not like it'd excuse the serialization they put on the parts but eh.

@jcm-1 has one, don't remember the brand… As for apps, not sure I'd trust them… I don't have an iPhone anyway.

Also, a website like Encycolorpedia can help finding Pantone and RAL equivalents, it shows the delta from one to another: - RAL 7044: close to Cool Gray 4 and 6, - RAL RAL 7024 / Graphite Grey: ~= Pantone 432 - RAL 7022 / Umbra Grey… - RAL 7016 / Anthracite Grey: [19-4005 TPG / Stretch Limo ...

I only have a 520c and earlier machines. Well unless we want to build our own manufacture for filament, in which case we could as well just build molds too, that's the best we have. Well, some manufacturer seem to produce Pantone filaments, but only for a subset of it. And the Pantone...

I missed the previous RAL colorchart on that local second-hand site but I just ordered one. I'll need it for the ORIC red anyway.

I'm wondering what others use as surface finish on their prints, do you leave it as-is, do you use smoothing sprays (haven't tried yet)? I experimented a bit with sanding (here on the bottom part on the right one, but I find it too matte compared to the LC case), then hot air + pushing against...

Damn that means stocking 4 ColorFabb rolls just for that 😰

Well my PB 520c has two colors for the case, and neither is exactly the same as the PSU anyway…

Anybody already checked for a filament color match for 680xx and pre-G3 PM PowerBooks? I might soon get a RAL K7 color chart, so that might help.

Btw, did we ever get a proper match for the PowerBook grey? (well, which one, not sure there's a single one actually…) Should we make a topic for that?

I received it the other day and yeah it really looks great (it better be)!

Just ordered 2kg from ColorFabb… For some reason attempting to pay with a bank card didn't work, but PayPal did… 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, I shall soon be able to print stuff with that :)

Did you find me already?

Yeah but it's only in English… Do they accept Euros at least? I think SiliconInsider is both on Tindie and eBay. Not sure I want to go eBay though.

During the covid lockdown I spent quite some time designing an AAUI2AUI adapter cable, and actually ordered parts to make like 20 or 30 of them since they were sold at least by 10 anyway… I still only have 2 of them finished though. 😅 (and making kits for this one is probably as time consuming...

First computer: ORIC Atmos First Mac: Mac LC-III Seems I haven't written an intro yet… I'm François, I supposedly have an engineering degree in CS & electronics, and I start way too many projects, some of which bitrot on MS GitHub. I contribute to many FLOSS projects, mainly Haiku, a Free...

Oh, an interesting thread of Amiga people discussing filament colors as well. Another one on Atari colors…

It seems the PolyTerra one isn't available in Europe yet, even Amazon doesn't have it. I mean, amazon.com has it, but amazon.fr only has the regular colors, not the Muted White… I found a PolyTerra distributor not too far and sent them a mail to see if they ever intend on selling it, but I guess...
