Quick question for the boards.
I bought some filament on Ebay, Red PLA.
Print temp is set at 200
We just printed out a couple small prints and the red seems to lighten and almost turn orange. Is it my heat temp or... ?

If you want to argue with your supplier, like mine they will probably say the same thing 'there is no true red"
Filament does change colour at different temperatures, so print (or try) and print it at 160c, if it wont feed go to 170c and so on.. see what happens. I have to say ABS gives me a better or richer red (like Ferrari red) than PLA, PLA is bright tomatoe red.
