    Luminous red

    Having a hard time finding this stuff, everytime I get it from a different supplier the stuff comes pink. Looking for red filament that looks red, and glows red, not looks pink and glows red. I tried 3Dprima and esun, both pink.

    Thanks!!

    I'm having Same Problem !

    It must be impossible to make a Real Red color filament ! ??

    Either that or all the filament Makers are Color-Blind !

    Hi! What material are you using for 3d printing? I know some 3d printing materials that have a red filament for colors and finishes.

    The problem is that all the filament they Call Red are Actually Pink.

    Also, I got some recently that is supposed to be Wine-Red color and it's really a redish Brown
    I would certainly Never drink Wine that is that Muddy ! LOL

    Hi , As a filament maker i can tell you glow in the dark red is possible to make but has a very weak glow intensity and duration. The best glow colors are the typical yellowish green & a light blue. The rest of the available phosphorescent pigments are not worthwhile for filament making.

    I did make a excellent ruby red if you want just a nice intense candy looking red. Here's a pic

    Mike, We have been trying to find a Dark-Red PLA ( like a blood Red )
    Is there a reason no one makes that color ?

    Or like the red on this car:

    Well, I saw the Cherry-red and it does Not appear to be Dark enough for what we want.
    It does look Less Pink than most though !

    I ordered it and will try it,
    Hey, I still have a can of Dark-red spray-paint I can Use !
