What color filament for Darksaber blade?

Post by Bdicinti »

Hi-
I watched the video and read through the instructions and can’t seem to find what color filament should be used the for the blade. Is it white or some sort of translucent filament?
Thanks!

In this video, he has used multi-colour neopixel strips. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFdUjmYk_OU

The blade looks like probably translucent PLA. I will check with the authors of the guide.

Hello there,

We used a translucent white PLA, often called "Natural Clear". It's not quite a white color or clear transparent, it's sorta both. Here's a link to purchase the filament we used from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MB3CV6K/
