Hello.
I am attempting to make some small (one inch tall) stoppered bottles with colored liquid inside that will show through. (Think dollhouse-sized potion bottles.) I would like to have the bottles printed in 3D. I am wondering which material would be the best for my project.
Frosted detail looks like it would work for my purposes, but I would like to know whether or not transparent detail is more transparent and cannot find a transparency rating for it since it is a sub-material of white detail.
Thank you for your help!

Either would do, but you would have to paint the with something like Johnsons Kleer to get a glass like finish.

I don't mind the non-glossy finish it has, in fact I think it kind of gives it a more mysterious, magical quality like frosted glass. I just want to know which one the colored liquid would show through better.

From my impression, Transparent Detail is slightly more transparent, but as BIll said, both should do for the purpose.
