I make spectacular filament with their pellets!
White, Black, Orange....all good stuff.

getting temps set correctly for each one can sometimes be a challenge, tho - that info doesn't really get saved in the filament profiles  tongue

Red seems to be more of a pain for me than any other color - but black seems to want a slightly higher temps - on my printer anyway...
for me it seems lighter colors = lower temps, darker colors = higher temps... and glow in the dark's are way different - usually a fair bit lower than other colors of a similar material (ABS for me) If I run white & yellow at 235C, the GITD is more like 220-225C

point is, temp should be checked/calibrated for each color.

flow rate also and remeasure filament dia each roll for that too.

I have found that white generally likes a slightly lower temp than other colors (yellow too) by a few degrees, but with good calibrations it is no harder to work with than any other color.

I just went this morning for bloodwork at Kaiser, and they gave me a cup too.

I tried ABS and PLA same brand, prints are fine in black, orange, red, gray ect... but white,,, they look like a cow arse... start fine but getting delam, uneven layer ect... should I just avoid white and print with natural? Thx in advance.
