I wanted to print some tokens for a boardgame which need different colors. I don’t need that much colored filament. I came across that set while searching for cheap filament. Is that a good deal or would it be better to just buy full spools, even if I dont know what to use it for?
I actually have a good amount of experience with this exact type of thing.
Fanciest, nicest, easiest, most expensive method will be to buy filament in desired colors.
Slightly cheaper option, print them all in one color (preferably white), get cans of spray paint in whatever colors you need plus a clear topcoat (I’d recommend matte or satin for game pieces), paint and top coat them
Cheapest option, get one can of white spray paint and a variety pack of cheapo craft acrylic paint (you can probably find a 10 pack for $5), base coat white, use a sponge brush with the acrylic paint (you’ll need a few layers), then finish with top coat. Most time consuming and outcome will depend on how many layers you feel like doing.
If I didn’t already have a rainbow of different filament colors for this exact scenario, I would go with the third option. You can layer them up until you’re satisfied with the quality, and white base coat is always good to have.
