I had my KX2 sitting near a window for a couple of weeks and then noticed my KXPD2 had discolored quite a bit from the UV. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm a Product Test Technician for a company that deals primarily with molded plastics, and UV degradation is a problem we see frequently, but can be reduced through various methods (base material change, coatings, additives, etc). I could be wrong but it appears the KXPD2 is 3D printed? If so, perhaps a different variety/color of resin might reduce the amount of fading/yellowing due to sunlight. I think a black KXPD2 would look pretty sharp... ;-)
Thanks!
