    Hey Folks...
    I'm looking for some green filament, PLA or PetG, in Ranger Green. I'm doing some work for are tactical units. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks EAG.567-7.jpg

    You will probably need to use nylon and an acid based dye, something like Jacquard's, in order to get the color you are looking for. It is used heavily in the RC market for Delrin and nylon parts.

    I can't be certain, not having a sample myself, but MakerGeeks Urban Fossil Maker Series may be close:

    Worst case you could order a sample size from them and see how far off it is.
