These guys on ebay are pretty cheap as well: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-75mm-3d-Print … 711wt_1139

I wonder if their quality is good? Ships from USA.

Re: Worldwide Filament suppliers (ABS & PLA)

Be careful about quality ABS. We've heard stories of ABS + Prizes - i.e disreputable ABS manufactures shipping ABS with contaminants inside.

Like this (PLA):

Note to self: Don't buy filament from Esun.

Re: Worldwide Filament suppliers (ABS & PLA)

When I need some more filament, I'm going to order the 3 pack from http://www.voxelfactory.com .

Probably faster and cheaper shipping since they are also in Canada. Price isn't bad as well.

Re: Worldwide Filament suppliers (ABS & PLA)

Another Canadian option is http://www.a2aprinter.com/

I've purchased some from there and they are quick to send. I haven't used any yet of course, so I can't vouch for the quality. They arrive on sturdy spools in individually wrapped bags with desiccant.

Also, there are 3D printer enthusiasts in Vancouver that like to get their filament from http://www.repraper.com/ as it's the cheapest high quality filament they've found. The reels are only $15 each and you get stung for shipping, but it still works out cheaper than buying internally from Canada.

Re: Worldwide Filament suppliers (ABS & PLA)

That is cheap. About $27.85 per kg shipped when you order 3 rolls, shipped by fedex.

Maybe if I get a shipping container load we can get the price down more... tongue

Re: Worldwide Filament suppliers (ABS & PLA)

I just got some Black filament in from Afina on Amazon. 1kg, shipping and everything the price wasn't bad and the stuff is printing pretty well so far. No 'prizes' yet. It came boxed, in a sealed bag with desicant, and they use the slender rolls, which I like because they're easier to store. Shipping in the US was 4 business days.

Re: Worldwide Filament suppliers (ABS & PLA)

Their fixed rate shipping is showing $0.00 for me in the US. Did you ship outside the US? I hope that's true because that would put the cost ridiculously low.

Re: Worldwide Filament suppliers (ABS & PLA)

Ordered 8/29, shipped 9/4, received 9/6.

However the filament seems more runny to me.  I don't know how to technically explain it, like it doesn't solidify as quickly as the Solidoodle black that I bought with my machine.  I turned the temp down a little and it helps but still seems to ooze a little more and not firm up as quick.

Re: Worldwide Filament suppliers (ABS & PLA)

Octave is running a special (may have missed it before...) through Amazon, didn't see it on their site though. Order any three rolls of 1.75 Abs, free shipping! Regular colors are 31. GITD was 34.99.

Not as good as some other places, but not a bad deal and 3-5 day shipping via UPS.

Re: Worldwide Filament suppliers (ABS & PLA)

For Dutch suppliers, I can provide the following second-hand reviews (both family members);

123inkt.nl (bought ABS) --> no complaints
Filament en meer (PLA) --> also no compaints.

I'd love to hear about cheaper spools though. Quality-wise there seems to be as near as no difference from what I've heard, so when will prices drop?
