Topic: PLA pellets from Filastruder

I am going to start putting together my Filastruder and newest Filawinder that I have had in storage because i bought one of the early models and I had not had my feet wet with 3d printers.  I now have a 3d printer that is working great.  Not to mention time to find time around work to put together and building a cabinet I could keep outside because i am going to run it outside.  Not blessed with a garage, sorry!
I now have a tall pantry cabinet that i bought and now am going to use it as my filastruder enclosure.

I want to know is why on the Filastruder site, I cannot find PLA pellets.  Can someone tell me why and if Tim is not going to sell PLA pellets anymore, where is a good provider quality and price wise to buy some pellets so I can start making my own filament.

Thanks.

Re: PLA pellets from Filastruder

honestly, I would reach out to Tim directly thru the website. That is going to be your best resource on why they are not available.
And possibly a resource on where to get them

Ive never ran PLA thru my filastruder. I dont know if filastruder carries it, but https://store.os3dp.com/16-natureworks- … la-pellets is a source to get some. Ive bought a ton of ABS from them

+1!!! OS3DP is a great source with support that rivals Tim from Filastruder. I've never had a bad batch from OS3DP. If I had a question or comment, Jonathan was right at my side. Also try his powder colorants instead of any Masterbatch. Power really is superior.
