Probably due to subtle chemical differences in the dyes but I've no clear hard evidence or research to support this guess. +I shall know by tomorrow morning whether it will move after printing on a Bambu A1, with a 0.4mm brass nozzle, 0.2mm layer thickness with supports above 30 degrees in light green PLA+ made by *INSERT MANUFACTURER'S NAME HERE.

This is due to differences in both pigments and addatives that filament manufacturers add to their filaments, especially when it comes to materials that are advertised as being PLA+. Even though they're advertised as PLA+, PLA+ made by different manufacturer's can be completely different due to these largely proprietary addative blends. Some PLA+ targets stronger materials while others target better bed adhesion. I'd welcome any feedback on different machines and settings and whether the finished print can be made to move freely with the present clearance between parts.
