Cause it might require different temperature settings. I havent experimented with different settings with it though. The detail is more hidden than bright colors. I tried a yoda and it was rougher than other colors. When I photographed it, the detail did not show up too well.

I don't know why you don't see many black prints.. maybe we like things to be colourful? smile

Id use black for rc car parts.

I'll try some darker colors next time I order filament.

Their red looks pretty red from the pictures, will like to see how it looks after extrusion.

Do the ABS plastic dyes degrade with heat?

I've attached a picture.. 

I would like to find some filament more like the color of the top of the pen in the picture, or the body of the pen.
