"Platinum" PLA for Macs and Apple ][s
- Thread starter jcm-1
- Start date
@MacEffects FYI on this thread since we were just chatting about the subject. It'd be nice to find a shop that specializes in plastic/paint spectrometry to sample something like a sealed-in-box accessory with no texture (like the inside of a mouse ball cover) that's likely to be exactly or close to true original color. It'd be great to have those specs to then make custom color PLA, resin, paint, ink, stickers etc.
PLA NX2 gray | Extrudr - High Quality Filament

Here's my first test print with the Extrudr Grey.. I think this looks great! (which is good, because I accidentally ordered the 2.5kg spool, instead of the 1kg!)
(Yes, I'm in the US 
) Shipping was €26, so not too bad for international shipping. It was surprisingly fast too. I was expecting a month or more, but IIRC, it was around a week.

Hi y'all! I'm new to the 3D world (I blame Joe!) and using my design background I am trying to get some custom color PLA providers that are closer to us, to get affordable materials. Just want to share what I'm doing, so maybe we can get bulk prices and do some group buy. Will update on the results soon.
Okay, dropping a question here to everyone listening: Javier @Javmast3r did some pricing on shipping for the ColorFabb filament, and we can ship more and more filament for about the same shipping price. Like 10 rolls costs as much to ship as 1 roll?
????!?!??!?!?
So, here's the question: should I poll just this group here for doing a group buy, or should I start a new thread and see what we can drum up from the entire TD community? Thoughts?

Joe and I are getting ready to order some PLA from Europe, this is your chance to band together, so we can pay less per person on shipping. To be clear: We don't get any special discount, just paying for one shipping cost instead of multiple ones.
Either respond here or via PM ASAP, we plan on doing this in the next couple of weeks.

I'm in for a spool if it's reasonable total cost.
How much is the base spool cost? So cost would be spool cost + (total shipping to US / number of people buying) + shipping from US location to individual?
$62.70 USD according to their site. I don't think there's tax added, but shipping of several spools (at least when added to the cart) was not that high.
We are trying to save on shipping, which is around $40 for one spool to the US.
If we can divide it and get it for around $10 per person, then shipping within continental US *could* be as low as $8 when sent via ground.
I'm thinking $18 total for shipping is a great deal, again, it all depends on final price of the amount of spools, we would share the exact info before purchasing for transparency.
I agree, we are paying premium to have a specific color. Thanks for trying, tho. Anyway, we may be able to help you to print stuff in the future.
OK, sign me up for a spool. It's a lot, but I want to make this happen, and I'll be willing to print parts for others with the spool when I get it.
What was the color that was best in the end? Gonna contact https://filaments.ca to see if they can match.
