Posted · ABS With Color Similar to Faberdashery's Architect's Stone??

I have fallen in love with Architect's Stone! I think the neutral grayness goes with a multitude of other shades of white very well. I printed out iRobertl's cable chain parts for the build plate cable using this material and it blends into the inner U2 perfectly.

However, since I've built an acrylic terrarium top for my U2 to print out ABS parts, I found it gets MUCH HOTTER inside than originally anticipated. My PLA-based Architect's Stone cable chain melts a little more every time I print ABS. :oops: The main part that screws into the back of the build plate gets the worst of the heat, pulling it directly off the Z plate. The smaller chain parts also get mushy just from the ambient temp in the enclosed print area.

Does anyone know of any ABS anywhere that has a color close to Architect's Stone? It's a cool, off white... very light gray-ish. I already have a standard 'white' ABS (plain white from iMaker.com) print of the chain, but it looks a tad yellowish compared to the rest of the bright white innards of the U2.

 

Thanks for any suggestions!

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
