Weird. I spent 20 minutes this morning looking for the filament that the little cup was printed with (it’s a planter for tiny succulents, from Printables). Couldn’t find it anywhere, verified I had indeed ordered Creality “burnt orange” from Amazon. All I could find was a spool of brown. I’d never actually ordered any Creality brown. I proceeded to print another planter cups with it. 

I think I remember being disappointed when I received the spool that it said brown vs burnt orange, but it being Amazon, just kept it. 

I don’t remember this much variation in color  from the first time I printed the planter cups. Apparently, it changes color dramatically when printed. One of the pictures is right after I removed it from the hot end, showing the difference. 

Overall, I’m good with the end result, but not with the process. The cup I printed today looks the same as the reference cup I printed weeks ago. This is the only time I’ve ever used Creality filament, is this a typical experience? Surely not. I wonder though 1) why the original order was “wrong”, and 2)if other colors would have such a difference between the spool and the product. I’ve got another spool of the “burnt orange” in my Amazon cart, who knows what I’ll actually get and what it’ll actually look like. 

Crazy color change
