Just installed the bed on my 2.4 last night. Lots to do yet, but it's starting to look like a printer!

If you didn't already know of it, filamentcolors.xyz is a website that collects swatches of 3d printing filaments to help people choose colors. They prints swatches of filaments colors, analyse their spectral contents, and create approximate hex values (among other things).

I'm a visual learner and very much wanted an interactive way to view the data. I created a plotly visualization that displays all of the filaments (as of June 16, 2023) in a scatter plot. To access, simply download the html file from github and open in your browser. You can zoom, pan, and rotate using your mouse wheel, right mouse button, and left mouse button, respectively. Hovering over a data point will tell you the filament name/brand, original hex value, rgb values, and hsv values.

I contacted the owner of filamentcolors.xyz before sharing since he technically owns the dataset, and he was OK with me sharing this with the larger community. He even seemed interested in including a widget like this on the site proper, so we might see something like it there, soon.

I hope this is useful to you!

Edit: figured out how to do a direct link to github.io.

Near the eastern shore of Oahu from my vacation back in February.

Kind of blurry since I had to zoom with my phone. He was chattering up a storm! We also have a feeder made specifically for orioles, but he really digs the hummingbird feeder...

I have some Fiberology PA12+CF15 blend (link) from a long time ago and recently got around to using it. I am amazed to say the least! It prints easier than PETG, even without an enclosure. Only downside is that it is much more expensive per kg, although it is lower density so I don't seem to be going through it as quickly as other filaments.

I recently purchased some PC Blend with CF from Prusa as well. I haven't gotten to print it yet, but I've heard very good things about it, too.

What less common filaments do you fine folks like using?
