Prusa Orange PET-G
Can anyone confirm if this.... https://shop.prusa3d.com/en/filament/73-orange-petg-filament-1kg.html is actually the same colour as what the MK3 is.
The online chat said to me it is (so I ordered some) but there seems to be mixed feelings about it. I've got a roll coming in the post but judging by the web shop picture it doesn't look as bright.
Cheers

Only if they replace the spools now, because before it's just a normal orange color (Not vivid orange), the true prusa color is like Lava Orange or Neo Orange color.
I have order tons of spools in search of a good match and it's really hard to get a perfect match. However i found some good candidates inside europe and accessible to me, like:
- PrimaSelect PLA Neo Orange (Use for non important parts) [Have transparency if printed thin height or walls, for example Vases]
- HDGlass Fluor Orange Stained (PETG - Good for print replacement parts and other stuff, can be used as a PLA replacement, but expensiver) [Have transparency if printed thin height or walls, for example Vases]
- Extrudr MF-PETG NEON orange (PETG - Good for print replacement parts and other stuff, can be used as a PLA replacement, but expensiver) [Solid]
For ABS i'm using FilaFarm ABS, not perfect match but very similar, much better than palid oranges that i have here...
I'm Printing the replacements parts with HDGlass, very strong and good, i can take pictures if you want to check.
To check the Primaselect neo orange PLA, please see here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2776269
PS: I can't find a single store that can provide that good orange color match in ABS, PLA and PETG... I have to order from different stores and different brands.
I'm Very happy with the HDGlass, it have a shinny look like glass. Extrudr MF-PETG NEON orange may be the most identical to prusa, it's a solid color so no glass effect.
As bonus both HDGlass and Extrudr PETG have big spools
Re: Prusa Orange PET-G
That HDGlass is a very nice colour, Ill be a bit annoyed if the spool I got sent isn't a match when I asked for conformation before ordering, it would annoy me looking at the printer with a few odd coloured parts 😆 😆 😆

I understand that, i don't like a rainbow printer too...
When i ordered my MK3 i asked the same question as you, they said "No", they also told me the brand of PETG they use, but i read other comments on forum where someone order that prusa petg orange and ask to replace with the same color as the printer, not sure how that will make it but it seens a bit random...
I never understood why they don't stock up that color and sell to public, as almost every people have the same problem finding a good match and print in a different color is very annoying.
Black is easy and every brand have it, but that orange color is like special, rare to find... Much easier if they used the palid orange, but ugly
Re: Prusa Orange PET-G
Most of the orange fillaments out there (Normal Tangerine or orange without modification, bio):
Prusa Color (Clementine)
I Like both 😀
Re: Prusa Orange PET-G
What do you think of this? https://www.filament-pm.com/filament-1-75-petg-orange-1-kg/p51
It has the same spool as prusa's filament and I did read someone else had found this was the actual brand.
Re: Prusa Orange PET-G
that's where prusa get there filament and you cannot buy that one its allways out of stock
Re: Prusa Orange PET-G
If you're looking for PLA, this is a very good (almost perfect) match.

Re: Prusa Orange PET-G
well iv just gone onto the website and its got NEW pet-G prusa orange.
my guess this is the one
might be you need to be signed in to be able to buy it or something or maybe they just put it up.
Re: Prusa Orange PET-G
I can confirm that the orange petg is not the correct one. I recieved my printer friday and had also ask several times for the correct filament and change at a point my order from abs to petg.
When you see the spool there is no direct.different but when i printed a extruder ideler(the old one was not in the box) i see a color diferent.
The original is more red then the one on the site. Maybe they print other temperature but i think it is not the filament. I make my printer for now and if you don't put it next to a original part you don' t see much different.
I can play with my mk3 now that's the most important:-)
Re: Prusa Orange PET-G
I bought two rolls of Prusa PETG Orange before Christmas. Confirm it is not Prusa's bright orange. It is a good bright colour and perfectly usable but compared to the stuff the printer's are made from the shade of orange is pretty flat. I was very disappointed!
Edit: Just seen the new one added to the webshop. That looks more like it!
Re: Prusa Orange PET-G
Finally! They did the right thing. The new spool is the perfect match, and cheap 🙂

Cheap until you see the $50+ shipping to the US....

I guess that is all shipping costs?
Import to US heavy products is always expensive.
For me shipping is 9 EUR to Portugal.
But on US you can find that color from a different brand, eg: https://filaments.ca/collections/1-75mm-3d-filaments/products/hdglass-filament-see-through-orange-fluor-1-75mm

Interesting. I went through to right before confirming the order and shipping stayed at $39. ❓
There is no way they make money on a single roll of filament if they don't charge shipping so I'm not too concerned about choosing not to pay what they are charging. I'm just puzzled why it's different for your order.

I thought it was odd too because my cart originally showed $39 for shipping and I was prepared to order with the shipping charges. I saw the charges up until I changed my shipping / invoice address because I recently moved. When I scrolled to confirm my shipping method it said $0.00.
I'm hoping I didn't burn my free shipping for the powder coated bed but if I some how managed to do so I'll just eat it. I did check my account to see if I got the voucher and I didn't yet so hoping I didn't burn my free shipping for the steel sheet. Although shipping filament is probably more expensive...

Their system is odd anyway. A lone spool of filament is $56 shipping for me. Add a $7 nozzle and it goes down to $39.
