This purple looks so much better than what Maker Geeks uses on their site. It does have a slight hint of transparency on the edges. It almost looks like it’s glowing or shining. Purple is the color of royalty and with Maker Geeks Raptor Purple you certainly can show it off. This color reacts to UV light.

Maker Geeks Raptor Series is a High Temp PLA which means you can anneal it to exceed the performance of ABS.
