@jeffeb3 lol
Yea of course we can be friends. One of my best friends is gasp…

A Penguins fan.

So we just tease each other. He’s one of the few Penns fans that I’ve met who aren’t a jerk when it comes to hockey.

As for your Avs you have a couple former Caps who were well liked here. So can’t give you too much hate. In fact, unless you’re playing the Caps, I’m happy to see them win.

Btw looking at the Avs logo, I may just go with red for the B color. I was thinking of going that way to be patriotic, but the Caps have blue and white in the alternate jerseys and red is the primary home.

But the Colorado colors do look good! Hopefully they’ll look good on the CNC. If not, I guess I’ll just have to use it a lot and get it covered in sawdust and such.

Blue goes with a lot of colors. Especially dark blue.

I like the blue and orange idea. Blue and green work well too.

I remember seeing a build post of blue and green… Or was it blue and orange… I can’t remember.

But it looked VERY nice.

I’m not a fan of Orange unless it’s on a ‘69 Camaro or a Charger.
And don’t really like green on anything but m6 lawn

Your avatar is orange. :slight_smile:

Metallic blue and gold

28

@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.

31

@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. :smiley:

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?

35

Not worth the effort to get WINE configured just for that

But thank you for the thought

36

@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!

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

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