New guy, first clock. Hello!

Hello all,

Recently retired mechanical engineer here starting on my first clock. Not new to 3D printing, but new to clock building. I just purchased the Moon Phase Clock, as well as the hardware pack. Currently reading through the manual and familiarizing myself with the .stl files. I have also read through many of the topics on the forum and watched a few videos. Currently trying to decide on color, and more importantly, filament type/brand.


I had my hopes set on the silky filaments, but from what I have been reading, the silky can be finicky. Should I avoid the silky filaments on this first build? I have also read (I think), that the MatterHackers filaments are good for these clock projects. Can someone confirm or suggest otherwise from recent experience?


Looking forward to the build. I will post some pictures as I move forward.

Cheers!

Lol, no worries. I figured it was a typo, but there are a lot of new materials coming out, so you never know if there is a low temp PLA out now. Thanks again.
