I wanted to print some tokens for a boardgame which need different colors. I don't need that much colored filament. I came across that set while searching for cheap filament. Is that a good deal or would it be better to just buy full spools, even if I dont know what to use it for?

It might be easier to print with one neutral color spool, and paint the tokens?

Haven't thought about it. But that might be a better idea. Do you need a special paint for PLA?

I've used spray paint in the past, on PLA prints, and it turned out fine.

But I've not researched the topic. Might be that I got lucky :)
