Orange I can't get to work consistently, but when I do get it to work it looks great. Haven't gotten purple to work at all yet.

It looked amazing, almost like carbon fiber, all the lines were smooth and concave area that would fit a CO2 canister came out spectacular! Def buying more for the school and for me at home

The printed part looses next to no color like can be seen from cheaper PLA of poor quality. It's a shame MB PLA costs $45+. For me, it's not worth the cost. I would be singing another tune if it were at least $5 cheaper.
I had good results between 210-218 depending on speed and cooling

We purchased a sample pack from Makerbot and now I'm just getting the settings dialed it. Anyone else currently use or have used this filament with a printer other than a Makerbot? After some research I found that Makerbot melts their filament at 230C, which is a lot higher than usual for PLA. I tried 190C for a little while with good results, but have since dropped to 180C. What temps are you using with Makerbot PLA?
