			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>InlandPLA is iffy at best. Their ABS is much better, but still &quot;meh&quot; compared to Filastruder/Filawinder quality.<br />And sorry it took so long to jump in on this thread.<br />Here&#039;s my PLA <a href="http://www.soliforum.com/topic/14671/makergeeks-pla">comparison</a>...granted, it is on separate mahines, extruder setups, and so on. But I never updated or too pics of opposite trials. </p><p>To add, the most brittle PLA I have ever used (the most brittle of all time in my case) is <a href="http://www.soliforum.com/topic/9699/stainless-steel-filament/">Proto Pasta&#039;s SS PLA</a> as it would break even mid print. Look for my review a few posts down.<br />PLA is very bitchy, even with a good brand. Proto Pasta was the most notorious for breaking, but since they rely on PLA-based filament exclusively, that comparison goes out the window with other brands, especially since they focus on exotics.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Last Thursday I filled out the contact form on the Iris USA web page . No response yet. The customer service page states. Damage within 60 days of purchase is the sellers responsibility. So I probably could get a refund from Walmart.&nbsp; an exchange would not be convenient.&nbsp; Looks like i am on my own.&nbsp; And it would be so simple to send a couple handles. I have not given up yet. But dare not hold breath. There are some things I have learned do not order mail order and get shipped to the house&nbsp; . This item is added to the list. <br />Tin</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>i swap colors far too frequently for something like that to be useful to me. If you only use 1 or 2, it may be something you might want, but me? nope.</p><p>If I simply remember to unload the hotend when I am done for the day, and put the spool away in one of the containers, I dont have any issues with moisture. Nylon is an absolute MUST to get put away when done with it. PLA &amp; ABS, eh, I might leave them out for a couple of days at a time if I will be using them. If it isnt going to get used for a while, it gets put away</p>]]></content>
