Color combination recommendations

Metallic blue and gold

@wellthad thanks. The blue is already picked. So no metallic.

I don’t have any gold filament. So the color choices are red, black, yellow, green, and orange as they are what I have right now and I’m not going to order more right now as I just ordered some more blue, black and white.

So I guess white could be an option.

So I’m leaning towards red, with black as a second choice, and white as a distant third as I think it would look horrible after it’s used awhile and gets dirty.

In the Megathread there was/is a simulator where you can test colours.

@Tokoloshe Which thread is that?

Somewhere in here: New MPCNC for 2020! - Primo -. If I have got time later I am going to look for it.

edit: found it: New MPCNC for 2020! - Primo - - #1802 by toddhacker

Thanks but that’s a PC app and I only have Macs and Linux boxes ;-(

Try it in wine?

tfaigle · February 27, 2021, 7:26pm

Not worth the effort to get WINE configured just for that

But thank you for the thought

definitely black. no contest.

@XYZb3457
You really think the black will look better than red with the blue?

Do you have a pic of that or can you run the simulation and do a screen shot? You now have me curious and thinking!

XYZb3457 · February 28, 2021, 5:17pm

i dont which color you had what part-set, but here ya go. this program is super slick BTW, whoever whipped this up, huge thumbs up.

tfaigle · February 28, 2021, 5:20pm

Thank you

My feet are bright navy blue. So it would be reversed.

Do you mind doing it again reversed?
Also with the reds.

XYZb3457 · February 28, 2021, 5:23pm

like this?

tfaigle · February 28, 2021, 5:24pm

@XYZb3457 yes thank you

XYZb3457 · February 28, 2021, 5:25pm

and boom.

tfaigle · February 28, 2021, 5:26pm

@XYZb3457 no the feet and such are blue
The “B” parts would be red

XYZb3457 · February 28, 2021, 5:28pm

i stand by my original recommendation

tfaigle · February 28, 2021, 5:30pm

I think you’re right the black will probably look better with the blue.

XYZb3457 · February 28, 2021, 5:30pm

i dont think i got the navy right on that last one, here ya go
