What PLA Filament color to get same color that A1 Mini?

Bambu Lab A1 Series
1

Hello,
I tried to use the search function, but didn’t find anything relevant.
I bought recently a A1 mini, I didn’t receive the color key chain thingy to compare materials and colors.
So if somebody could tell me what PLA Bambu filament I should buy to get same color that the plastic cover of the A1 mini.
ATM I have white and black, but I want to print a few tools for my A1 mini and I’d like to be the same color.
Edit : I am ok with PETG also :slight_smile:
Thanks in advance.
Seb

I was thinking the same thing, but from the swatches there doesn’t appear to be a match.

Thanks for your answer,
As you have the swatches thingy.
Could you check, when you have time, if best match is PETG Basic Nature ( 30104 ), from the website , it seems the best color match, even if not perfect.

Thanks a lot in advance.
Seb

This is compared against my A1. I just realized you were asking about a mini. Not sure if they are the same color.

Thanks for testing.
I think the A1 and A1 mini have same color.
Still a bit too bright but better than PLA white.
That’s a shame BambuLab which is doing filaments didn’t think about providing a filamenent of same color than their machine, as customizing 3D printer is pretty common IIRC.
Cheers .

Not sure if the colors on the mini are exact to the big A1 but matching swatches but the white/grey doesn’t match any of the Bambu swatches. But the dark grey of the Z axis is PLA Basic 10102

Thanks for your input.
I guess you have the A1, dunno if the vertical axis is same than on my mini, this part seems to be made of metal, so that’s not the color I’d like to match.
Cheers

Hi!

On the MakerWord website, under the comment section of “A1 Adjustable Original Camera” model there are plenty of tested recommendations with photos about filaments matching the color that you are seeking.
Sorry I cant link it so you have to search for it o nthe website.

Cheers

PrimaCreator PrimaValue PLA+ light grey.

I think this is as close as it can get to the original color.
