Topic: Plastic Has Arrived!

Just got my package of plastic from solidoodle today...

Yeah, I'm a little bit boring... just natural and black. They also included a spool holder (aka, piece of pvc pipe with an end cap).

It was originally mailed 2012/08/03, and arrived here the morning of 2012/08/09.

Take into account that Monday the 6th was a holiday here in BC, Canada, it took 4-5 business days to get from NY, USA, to BC, Canada. My printer has been released by customs, just waiting on that to arrive, which I estimate it will be here early next week.

Re: Plastic Has Arrived!

White and black are the 2 best choices imo.

White is nice and classy but I usually end up painting it black anyway.

I have no idea why Dimension doesn't stock black ABS.

Re: Plastic Has Arrived!

I got the natural white for the purpose of painting, and the black just to switch things up a bit tongue

Id like to get some glow in the dark filament sometime, would make for cool RC car parts.

Re: Plastic Has Arrived!

My printer is awesome, been running great with no issues and I haven't done one second worth of calibration on it.

I still have the original kapton square on it too. I think I want to try making a removable bed for it though.
