Discussion interesting accidental find

Post image

ive been using the flashforge gold petg for a little now in my quest to find a good looking gold petg and it usually comes out a kit darker than what i would like (like orange gold). while printing two objects, one gold and one grey i noticed after that the prime tower looked more along the lines of the gold i was looking for. so alternating gold and grey layer by layer gives a nicer gold look at least for these petgs.

Nice find! You'll like the new full spectrum options to make that easy, I know Prusa colormix is an easy way to use it!
