ProtoPasta has been around for a long time and have always been one of my favorite “go-to” filament brands. From their gorgeous Nebula series to their more unique offerings that are magnetic or conductive, ProtoPasta opens up the boundaries of where our creativity can take us. Over the last few years ProtoPasta has offered an awesome, albeit expensive, subscription program called Endless Pastabilities. The subscription comes with some flexibility to meet your style of creating. Every two months you get 3 spools of exclusive, never before seen filament in your choice of 50g/100g/500g/1 kg options. With each shipment, Corey from CM Design, gives away a bonus STL that is available on the ProtoPasta blog. Their latest release is a pool floatie shaped drink holder.
This month’s shipment included 3 beautiful new transition PLA spools named:
Kermie Green
Tidal Turquoise
Erratic Indigo
These spools are using their new transition technique that allows for very fast transitions between the colors gradients to give you some very beautiful and wholly unique prints. I opted to make my test prints with this batch of colors using the cute Octopus Plush model by Body3D. The model itself is small articulated octopus that has a crocheted look to it and can be purchased for just under $3 from the Cults3D link above. Body3D also offers a Patreon subscription that gives you access to various models for a low monthly cost of $11.50/month.
Overall I’m very happy with this selection of never before seen filaments from ProtoPasta although, I’m not entirely sure how long I will keep my subscription active as it is fairly expensive compared to others. I really wish there was a preview of the colors in each drop prior to needing to pay for the product in case it’s a set of colors I really do not like. The Endless Pastabilities #25 drop was a set of colors that did not really appeal to me, but it is what it is with subscriptions like this.
