PETC filament ATARI color
I am looking for a PETG filament which should be the same color of a vintage ATARI ST computer.
Anyone use this filament ? what was the color result after printing ?

The case is ABS. It will have discoloured, yellowed over time with UV exposure. It may be possible to match the original colour, in ABS, if you can find a protected corner but matching the ageing in the short term will need paint.
Cheerio,

Understand the issue with yellowing ABS, but I have new external parts and I want design case matching design and color of the original ST.
Not sure if Prusament Marble grey or Gravity grey will match ?
No idea, I haven't encountered an ATARI in a loooong time.
You will need to open the case and find an unfaded area to scan with a colour-matcher then either search for that profile or order a few samples to match. If you need a large quantity (we're talking 100's of spools) then many manufacturers will happily make a custom batch.
Cheerio,

OK, I will order some grey PETG and what match.

At Colorfabb in the Netherlands you can purchase PLA filament per roll in a RAL color of your choice.
They deliver all over the world.
Here is a link to the RAL colors they produce.
...but only PLA afaIk. It might be worth contacting them and asking about ABS.
Cheerio,
