How many manufacturers of abs filament on a larger scale are there? I see lots of people selling it but i wonder how specialised it is?

I had hoped someone would be selling what they make to help fund their habbit! Lol

I doubt you'll see a "flood of cheap filament", though. Most people buy them to produce for themselves. It is a hassle to set up a store, deal with customers, etc. After the overhead of a website, transaction fees, shipping, it probably isn't worth it for most people when a Filastruder can only make a couple KG a day. A lot of hassle for $10-20 of profit in a day. It makes more sense to just buy a Filastruder and make it yourself as you need it, in my opinion.

Many people have experimented with colors. Some links:

Has anyone been experimenting with coloured abs? Especially earth colours browns and greens?

Cheers
