Reflections Revenge...
Sounds sinister, but with good intentions I bring you an encore to November's Endless Exploration. You can read the backstory here in our previous blog.
After establishing a recipe for reflective in the last exploration and making typical reflective colors like white, gray, and yellow, I had to see "all the colors" in a reflective finish. Many of the colors will look familiar, but in a new, unique finish. In that way, these colors are both classic and contemporary.
For our classic colors, I chose red, green, and blue reflective reminiscent of Candy Apple, Cloverleaf, and Highfive, respectively.
For our contemporary colors, I chose denim, brass, and Nebula for some less conventional tones that are both rich and reflective!
I'm eager to hear what you think about and see how you use these colors. I'm hoping they reach you in time for some festive holiday prints!
Happy Holidays from Alex and the Protopasta Team!!!
3D Printing Reflective HTPLA
Like most other Protopasta PLA and HTPLA, we 3D printed Reflective HTPLA at 240C nozzle and 55C plate at maximum volume rate of 12 mm3/s using the generic PLA profile on the Bambu P1S with a 0.4 steel nozzle. Find more material data listed here.
I can't wait to see what you print with these. Will you make bike parts? Car parts? Print on fabric like Kaizen 3D Prints? Whatever you make, I hope you are inspired by this fun and useful reflective effect! Tag Protopasta to show us what you make!!!
