Yes please!

The part that you're referring to is a little closer to the color as stands by itself. I also had wipe to infill turned on and I'm not entirely convinced that the "opaque red" is really 100% opaque.

I had to search for a while to find a good red that I liked. I really want to try Dragon Red by Materio3D (link) but they've been out of stock for a while, even on Voxel Factory's website so I think they've stopped making it.

I printed on a MK3S+ with MMU2s. The modifications I mentioned in my other comment have made it rock solid, a couple thousand color changes on this print without issue.

Reminds me of a potoo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potoo (which makes sense since Wikipedia says they're related)

Just about finished with Mistborn: The Final Empire on GraphicAudio. I wasn't too interested in the plotlines at the balls, but find the parts about allomancy fascinating.

Yup, I like that stuff, too. I just printed some shelf brackets in Hatchbox wood PLA. Lots of stringing but they look pretty sweet after post processing.

What size nozzle do you use with it? I've seen lots of suggestions for 0.6mm and up, but I've been able to print with a 0.4mm without clogs.

That's another new one for me. Do you have an enclosure? Thanks for sharing!

I like Paramount 3D for their colors, too. Lots of places have the "basic" colors, but Paramount has a lot of interesting mixes (and names!)

Never printed ABS, but that's just because I don't have an enclosure.

Interesting, that's a new one to me. I'll have to check it out.

Wow, cool! Did you design the electronics as well?

do you judge other hikers? in c/[email protected]

If somebody judges you for trying to protect yourself from skin cancer, dehydration, and hurt joints, then they're the ones with the problem.

It's been a while since I set it up, but I think this was all of the changes. I did these mods while I was setting up and it was never fiddly for me like it is for a lot of folks.
