A beautiful dark translucent purple PLA. The only filament I could compare it to is another Maker Geeks Purple PLA. This reminds me of Ravens purple. The deepness of the color would look great for illumination projects too.

Maker Geeks is a made in USA filament with free shipping for all orders to the US. They have a wide selection and offer everything from PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU (flex), and specialty filaments. Maker Geeks is sold in 1KG sizes on plastic spools. They also offer Grab Bag filaments at discount and a monthly 2 roll subscription.
