Looking for a decent light grey PLA

[Feek]

I've got Prusament Gentleman's grey which is really dark and almost green and Fillamentum Iron grey which is better but still quite dark.

I need a light grey to print this for my lad. Has anyone tried Prusament mavity Grey or do you have a suggestion for a decent light grey PLA please? I'm printing the dome in the Iron Grey I mentioned as a test but I'm sure it's going to be too dark.

Polyterra fossil grey might be worth a look.

Had a quick look and some of the comments about the texture of the finish are a little off-putting.

I did the dome section as a test with the Iron grey I've got and I'm right, it's far too dark.

The Prusament galaxy back isn't really going to be suitable for the black either so I'll need a good, solid black but that should be easy enough to find.

Must admit I've only used polyterras teal, but so far I like it. It does have a chalky texture to the walls though.

Only Grey's I've tried are multicomp silver pla (used on my blaster in the prints thread), which I'm pretty sure is rebranded esun, it was alright but stringing was a problem for me. And technology outlets premium grey, which was great for me but they have since changed their suppliers so I'm not sure what the new stuff is like.

This one? For fifteen quid, it might be worth a punt.

The one in your picture is the silver, right?

I have Spectrum pro stone grey but although the colour is fine, it looks like stone so far from perfect.

I'm pretty sure it's the technology outlet one, but these two definitely are.

This one's the multicomp silver pla+

Thanks, that's worth a go for £15 from Amazon, it'll be here tomorrow.

Hopefully it'll be suitable, as I said they have changed supplier since. But the both the black and the grey gave me no problems on a stock ender 3 v2.

Hopefully it'll be suitable

Seems to be - It's giving me one of the smoothest first layers out of anything. To a naked fingertip, it's completely smooth and I can barely feel any ridges if I run a fingernail over it.

Thank you

Now to find a good solid black.
