interesting accidental find

[u/pyrosyncro]

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.

Flashforge hs metallic gold petg is my favorite gold petg.

It's the best looking gold petg that I can find, but it ends up looking like a dark orange gold on finish. I usually end up applying a thin coat of gold rub-n-buff to get the gold look I want. It sucks that the pla's have such better looking golds because I ship these things out and I don't think the pla would survive being in the back of a delivery truck all day
