Topic: Folger Tech ABS
I'm about to buy an FT-5 and I noticed they offer ABS filament for $13 1kg. Why is this so much cheaper? Is it worth getting? Has anyone tried it or knows where they source it?

I got a spool of purple when I got my delta from them and it seems to work fine, about the same as most ABS filaments I've used.
Would you use it for calibration purposes? This will be my first attempt at ABS printing.
I don't see why not - the only noticable difference in my time using it was a stronger ABS odor than many.
Great, thanks for the input.
I had a sample of FT ABS when I built my i3 and used it for extrusion multiplier calibration. I'd say you're good to go.

Depend what you are comparing it to it is only a couple dollars a roll cheaper than inland brand from micro center.
FT specializes in 3d printing. And I expect FT has relatively low overhead as compared to MC . I have been to there facility . it is nice , clean and well maintained but is is not a premium retail location . they are a net business does not have to be in a high foot or car traffic area. MC locatoions tend to be in strip malls near a highway in populated areas.
If you want to try some made in USA stuff for about twice the price look here.

I expect it comes from China as does many of the parts will be for your printer.
