Endangered classic Mac plastic color returns as 3D-printer filament
Mac fan paid $900 to color-match iconic Apple beige-gray “Platinum” plastic for everyone.
Strosnider, who runs a website about his extensive vintage computer collection in Ohio, worked for years to color-match the distinctive beige-gray hue of the Macintosh Platinum scheme, resulting in a spool of hobby-ready plastic by Polar Filament and priced at$21.99 per kilogram.
