   Miguel, most are using gray. Translucent green is what came with both of mine back in November. Some reported getting castable green awhile back. Having one makes modeling easier, for sure.

Or to double your rate of output. As you discovered, it takes a long time to render objects. I'm printing very small details where the platform moves less than half an inch for the full build, and it takes two or more hours. So a day when I'm printing takes some planning, and I'm thankful it provides an ETA. Not that I'm complaining, necessarily - I can't fault the results, having this tool is amazing - but if I were to undertake something "taller" like rolling stock, that's going to be an overnighter. Hopefully I'll be able to delay purchasing an additional unit long enough to get a next-gen machine.
