Hello all,
I have been using some XYZ light blue ABS for a while and it seems the color is now discontinued.
Would any of you know of an ABS filament 1.75mm with a color close to the one shown in the picture below?
The XYZ filament I'm trying to match is the one in the center.
Left is JET ABS and right is E-Sun.
Thanks.

looks a lot like a roll of blue pla I've got.
No idea where it came from - was a cheap ebay purchase - I think.
Plus colours are very subjective. And also change depending on what light you see them in.
But it does look like apretty normal shade of blue to me.
I will add I'm famous for not noticing colours.
And not having a favourite one.
But if you look around you should be able to find the same shade of blue.

Maybe more like this after a closer look http://www.3dsolutech.com/store/abs/...g-22-lbs-spool
Thanks guys.
The 3D solutec looks like the one on the right that I just got. It's very light.
The one from meltink looks like hybrid between the one on the left and the middle one. It's a bit too dark.
I know colors are subjective, but the reason I want to match it is because it's the closest color to the blue anodizing on the RC cars.
I'd hate to blow $25 each time to try a color lol.
There is a company called voltivo that has a color close but it's $45 for a spool of 1kg of ABS. It's a tough price to swallow.
If you're not too pressed for time, Solutec and Meltink both offer samples so you can get a few in and give them a once over. You're best bet is to look for a company that does samples, and get one in first hand to eyeball.
Sounds like a viable option.Quote:

the spool of a kg is at $31 +$9 S&H (>.<)'
I might give them a call and see what's up.
Thanks for your help guys.
Ours is closer to the blue on the left in your photo... but still definitely worth a try.
