(Image credit: Noctua / Prusa) There's probably a statistically significant intersection of 3D printing enthusiasts and Noctua cooling users. After all, both groups are into tweaking their machines and DIY in general. Both Prusa and Noctua seem to agree, as the companies have collaborated on bringing out high-end Noctua-colored filament .
The shades for the new filaments are Noctua Beige and Noctua Brown, and they've been color-matched precisely to fit the Austrian company's wares. This should make it trivial for Noctua enthusiasts to 3D-print accessories for Noctua-infused builds and trust they'll be aesthetically compatible. Given that there are already multiple Noctua-themed components out there, this move makes a lot of sense.
Prusa apparently had the idea after witnessing multiple community efforts that attempted to replicate the color scheme with varying degrees of success. Color matching plastics at an industrial level is a much harder enterprise than most would believe, as evidenced by the gasp-inducing price of a "simple" color wheel from Pantone .
