3.4 Opaque vs Transparent Plastic
Due to the nature of the diameter sensors used for control, ProtoCycler does not currently support extruding
transparent filaments. For a naturally transparent plastic such as PLA, colorants must be added to make the filament
opaque.
Included with ProtoCycler is a sample of colorants to use with the included plastic, and additional colorants may be
purchased from ReDeTec along with plastic pellets.
