Candy Cane pairs a bright red with a clean white in one strand, so the two run together through the print and leave a striped, festive effect on the finished part. It is an obvious pick for December work such as decorations, tree ornaments, gift boxes and shop displays, but it also suits anything playful, from desk toys to cake toppers. Made in South Africa, it is stocked for seasonal runs, and the smaller spool means less left over once the decorations are packed away. Everything about the handling is familiar if you have printed PLA before.
