In fact the Inland stuff had more flex than ABS. I print exclusively  with PET and PETG. It is like a happy medium between ABS and PLA.

By the way, what's new and special about PLA-N? That's the first I've heard about it. I see it prints at a slightly higher temp than standard PLA. Is it just less brittle or are there other benefits?

I'm looking for a color of PLA that closely resembles the common "construction" or "hazard" yellow that's the trademark of Cat digging equipment and US road signs. Most of the yellow filament I've found has been somewhat transparent (I don't want transparent), canary yellow, too orange, or otherwise just not the right color.

To be specific, something like this:

I get most of my filament off Amazon, but am of course willing to buy from other vendors if prices are reasonable.

Anyone know of a filament color like this?
