Filament Samples
All filament samples are at least 20 meters in length (actually more, I increased the length to eat up the extra filament being left behind on the rolls)
In case anyone is wondering what the little colored flags are on the samples this month, @Bryan_Vines suggested to mark the outer ends of the samples in the hopes that people could slip the samples on to a spool and know which end to feed to the printer. Let me know if it helps!
Fillamentum from FilamentOne
Gold Happens Extrafill PLA
Extrusion Temp: 190 to 210C

One of two filament colors selected this month to represent all of the golds and browns of Thanksgiving and fall. From the golden leaves to that sweet golden color of a plump cooked turkey!
Makeshaper
Crimson PLA

This beautiful crimson color was selected as a representation of fall leaves, and the cranberries you're sure to enjoy this Thanksgiving!

Pink may not be a color you think about in the fall or for Thanksgiving, but I chose this color as a personal memory. Growing up, my mother always made this fluffy fruity dessert that was pink. So this color is a throwback to my mom. =)

The second brown color this month, I loved the shine of this filament. Another reminder of those browned dinner rolls, stuffing and shimmering falling leaves.

Bonus Project!
Cooking Countdown Timer!
It was tough coming up with a Thanksgiving related project this month. But I figured that a cooking timer would be helpful to everyone! Plus, I have a challenge for you. I have designed one Turkey holder for the timer that you can access below. But this time of year is about giving! So I'd like to challenge all of you to come up with a design for the cooking timer, whether it's a new shell or another holder, and then give it to the community and fellow subscribers via your favorite model sharing site! Be sure to share it on Twitter with the hash tag #UFOTurkeyTimer and tag me so I can share it as well!
Also note, the battery is wrapped in plastic, so you will need to remove the plastic first before the timer will work =)
