UltiMachine PLA

[Steve]

Has anyone used the UltiMachine PLA  in the Replicator 2? 

I would rather use Makerbot PLA, but UltiMachine has some colors that MakerBot does not.

Did this PLA cause any problems or require changing any settings?

Ultimachine rules! I always make a profile for each color, each seems to be slightly different. Especially from other companies. I only have a cupcake, ToM though.

What sort of changes have you needed to make in the profiles for the different Filament colors?

[Luis E. Rodriguez]

Usually just filament diameter but sometimes a slight temp adjustment. Which Skienforge do you use? I should also say that when I have something down for Makerbot filament and have several rolls of different colors I don't have to. It's pretty consistent.

Are you a Maker?

I have the latest version of Skienforge and MakerWare. I would much rather use Makerbot Filament, I really like that company, but I have one project that requires printing in Purple. Perhaps I should just use the natural MakerBot filament and paint it. Have you painted PLA? I have heard some had success with nail polish, but I don't want it to flake off...
