Topic: Selling multi-color PLA 1.75mm

Has anyone gotten multi-color PLA 1.75mm working?

If so, would you be interested to sell me a few ounces?  I lent my filastruder to a fellow 3d printer.

I know the filastruder can produce about 10 ounces in a 8 hour period.

Willing to pay $3/ounce.  Looking for nice gradient color changes (red to yellow, yellow to blue, etc.)

Re: Selling multi-color PLA 1.75mm

I wish. Its too hard to keep the diameter consistent or fall into doable error range, like from 1.7 to 1.8
Its not that big of a problem even when printing with 0.4mm nozzle at 03mm height.

Not only that, but after suggested by forum 20 feet, color still not consistent and changes allover the place.
I wonder if its due to vertical positioning of the filastruder or what else.
