Are there any recommendations for a brand/color match for the SV08’s gray pieces? Ideally to match the Sovol enclosure. I prefer ABS because I’ll be using the printer at high temps. Thanks!

Hello,  
For high temperature, you can also use ASA wich is much more easier to print than ABS.

Been a while, but I’m looking to design a Top Hat for the SV08 Max enclosure. Did you ever choose something that worked?

I didn’t find a real match so I just went with a gray and used PETG since I couldn’t use the printer for ABS/ASA until I had it fully enclosed. I haven’t had any issues with the heat and PETG. Eventually I will change the color but that’s not even on my list of things to do at this point.

I ended up picking Polymaker Dark Gray ABS `#474648` as it was the closest I could find. It’s slightly darker than the side panels, but has some of the same blue’ish hue. I’m using it in this model for the top hat: [3D Printable SV08 Max Top Hat / Riser coming to Printables soon!](https://forum.sovol3d.com/t/3d-printable-sv08-max-top-hat-riser-coming-to-printables-soon/8706)

And so far, so good for matching:

It looks great with the subtle contrast!

The camera definitely picks up the differences, but in person, they look nearly identical.
