Going to run a bunch of tests this week, will post pics with diff materials and diff plastics. I would assume clear and white work the best.
I had a gentleman try using 3mm white filament and found the color to be less than satisfactory. Apparently the 3mm white filament also had some lamination issues (this may be due to either too much coloring when added to the white coloring already in the filament, or a mechanical issue with his printer). I am going to try using 1.75mm white filament soon. I will post results!
