What a perfect fit of colors, but sadly this PLA wont print on both of the companies Zortrax M200. There's an option to load external materials on the Zortrax M200 for a while now and I was too shy to test it out (Zortrax is closed gcode and was closed filament). Since I've printed with PLA on my 2014 printrbot simple already, I didn't think there could be too many problems though and so I did a little trip to 3dk.berlin, that was 4 metro stations away from home. Sadly the printer won't even load the filament and after asking around in the zortrax user group on facebook it turns out that you have to use a hotend+nozzle purely for the PLA for "best results". Well no, I'll just use one of the white tones in the material that I know prints and have laying around. Bummer, had a great time in the store. Let's talk about getting a CR10 + custom color PLA after the contest.

[update] the acrylics for the screen protector went to my parents place instead to me. They were not there to receive it and the shop it went to is only open from 10 to 5, Monday through Friday. The eBay person was good enough to resend it though, so I can expect it to arrive on Thursday, almost a delay of one week.
