3D printer filament brand/color that comes closest to matching Festool green?

[sprior]

This is one of those crossover questions that gets me blank stares, but has anyone found a brand/color of 3D printing filament which comes pretty close to matching Festool green?

I'm a big fan of colorFabb ngen ... it's my go-to filament.

They have a service where you can get any color you'd like:

But I haven't tried it.

I was just looking at the ColorFabb site yesterday.  I also have started using their nGen material lot.  With there custom color service do you know if you can get nGen?  They do have RAL 6018 (Festool Green) under their RAL colors that are available.

I'm using Inland 1.75mm Peak Green PLA which is just a bit lighter shade. Side by side 6 inches away the difference is pretty apparent. Five feet away is just barely noticeable. I'll try to post a picture later.

Thanks for the info!  Just a couple of years ago on the FOG I mentioned having a 3D printer and people told me there wasn't (yet) much crossover between Festool owners and 3D printer owners.

Inland is the Microcenter house brand and their filament is made by eSun which I like, I also like the price.  It's too bad that they haven't moved this particular color from their PLA to their PLA+ yet (you can tell by the recommended temperature range), but they'll get there eventually.

looks like eSun has that color in PLA+ now

Has anyone found a better color match for festool green than the one above?

 

[sprior]

I'm not sure it's EXACTLY the same color, but esun makes the house brand filament (Inland) for Micro Center which sells it cheaper than esun.

Bumping this thread as I am looking to pick up a spool of whatever most closely matches the Festool green.

Anyone have any more/better recommendations or is the eSun Peak Green PLA+ still the best option?

 

[sprior]

The Microcenter Inland Peak Green PLA+ is pretty close, PLA+ is a good filament in general, and it's quite cheap.  As I mentioned above Inland is the Microcenter house brand and they source it from eSun.

This one looks promising too, but from the pictures along its hard to tell. LINK

Anyone have an updated answer on this? Just got a 3D printer and would like to print some stuff in Festool green.  [big grin] Standard PLA preferred.

 

[sprior]

I've had this filament unopened for almost 2 years, but assuming they haven't tweaked the color since I'd say this is a pretty good match.  It's Microcenter Inland Peak Green PLA+.

 

[nicholam77]

@Sprior thanks, that pic is very helpful. I actually have a Microcenter close to me so that’s good. I just figured after a couple of years there might be another option, but good to know. It looks way different in their online pics versus yours. I’ll have to go to the store and check it out.

If the color is at all off just rub some dirt on it  [big grin]

I've been happy with Atomic Filament Opaque Green

I'll second Atomic Filaments. Its taken a month to dial in PETG on my SWX1, but between the Amazon purchased Hatchbox and Overture PETG filaments, Atomic has worked a treat.

Porto pasta has a RAL 6018 green. I haven’t purchased it yet but the color looks good from the photo.

I tried NovaMaker Green PLA from Amazon and it's a pretty close match.

Was only $19 for a 1 kg roll, they also have PLA+ for a bit more.

I’ve used the Proto Pasta “Lootsef Green” filament mentioned in #17 above and it is a great match. As a hint spell the filament color name backwards.
