They actually seem to be working a lot better.

I like Octave, but I do have a problem with their clear plastic wrap (Saran wrap?), at least the stuff they use on the white filament.  The stuff they use sticks to the filament so hard, it's impossible to get it off, and I end up throwing away a good chunk of filament.  Last time I actually measured the amount of filament that I had to discard, and it was about 30 yards.  For some reason, this only seems to happen to the white, on the color rolls, the shrink wrap simply unraveled without sticking.

I just got the JustABS stuff, so I don't yet know how well it works, but I'm about to.

I'll probably always get filament from them.

I've been using these, and they have not given me a single problem and my prints come out great.  They come in a sealed bag with the anti-moisture pellets, too!

im going to try a roll of that see how it goes.

I get the best results with the SainSmart, the Solidoodle is alright, and I don't care much for the Jet.

elmoret, I bet for every person who'd rather buy than make, there's two who'd love to make, but just aren't prepared to invest the money and/or the time and brain cells to build, learn, and operate another device.

Nothing wrong with that at all. I bought a Solidoodle rather than a reprap because I wanted to get up and running faster.

so no on fialastruder? lol
the hah didn't give me much.

no thanks.

I was laughing because I designed the Filastruder. It works well, but isn't for everyone. Some folks prefer to buy rather than make.

I would like to buy one for recycling my scrap.
