For everyone else, is there interest in the following
The masterbatch I have is a sample from a local supplier, its a Universal Masterbatch so will work with ABS and PLA (I didn't ask about other plastic types).
At this stage I have good results with Deep Blue and Red with ABS but have not tried the other colours as yet.
The supplier doesn't want people contacting him for small quantities as he supplies generally by the pallet (for base plastic) and 15Kg per colour of masterbatch (used at 2% so enough for 750kg of pellets). I am looking at purchasing 15kg bags per colour and then selling it in small volumes, probably via ebay or a web shop if there is enough interest (eg in 100g, 500g or 1kg packages).
In terms of pricing I expect that I will be able to supply at a similar rate as osprinting but with local supply depending on the colour (reds are more expensive, black/white is much lower in cost, the other colours are the same or slightly lower).
Shipping should also be lower as in most cases, it can be sent via an Australia Post pre-paid 500g or 3Kg envelope.
If there is interest, Im happy to pursue this and provide a local source of both universal masterbatch plus ABS and PLA pellets. Other pellets are also available but I have not made specific enquiries about them as yet.
If you are interested in this, please let me know so I can gauge the level of local interest.
regards
Darren
