 +===== White PLA Filament:=====
 +
 +I have always wondered why when I print in White, there are always little gaps near edges. At first I just thought that it happens with Black Filament too. I tested it and no it does not print exactly the same. I run Overture Filament only. Years ago I decided to stick with one type of Filament for PLA, PETG, a TPU. I run Calibration for each type material. From what I understand the additives in White that contains Titanium Dioxide. This makes if flow differently and may need to run a slightly higher Temperature.
