The kid decided they wanted to 3D print a Ditto (the Pokémon) so I got them to pick a model from the usual places, then today we went to Jaycar so they could select a filament with the best colour match. There was some matte lavender PLA that looked right for a regular Ditto, but the kid wanted it to be a Shiny (but not shiny) Ditto and picked this matte ice blue PLA accordingly.
The model the kid picked is actually a Ditto money box, and it's huge. I could scale it down of course, but where's the fun in that? I am printing the screw in plug first though, to check that PrusaSlicer's filament profile for Elegoo PLA works unmodified with this new filament. I recently got some Elegoo matte PLA in both black and red and while the black printed well with the default settings the red did not print properly at all at default, and I found I had to crank up the nozzle temperature by 15°C to get a good result. Odd that the colour made such a big difference to otherwise nominally identical filaments, but I'm now wary of every new colour!
