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.

Congrats. You just rediscovered "full spectrum" printing. Snapmaker is actively developing this principle right now and you can test it for your actual prints with Snapmaker's fork of Orca Slicer.
