These tests are printed in natural PLA. Rumor has it that it's the worst there is for what my printer can run. It's also the worst to photograph.
I also have natural ABS. I just bought a roll of black ABS and PLA.

Just so you know what the two types are like: ABS is what most plastic dishware (not plastic utensils) is made from. PLA is very crystaline and biodegradable (a lot like the clear plastic utensils).
To judge the amount needed. Weigh something made of plastic about the size you are thinking.
