			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Just realized today -- there are some very nice benefits to owning a filastruder that I hadnt thought of.</p><p>got done battling with an online seller because the ABS filament i had purchased from them was Wavy, had a 0.3mm swell in the diameter, was moist (oven didnt help), and wouldnt stick to a bed or even itself.&nbsp; all it ever did was ball up and burn on my nozzle.</p><p>made a pile of Yellow filament last night and it hit me:</p><p>I am saving SO MUCH TIME by using my filastruder!</p><p>before, it was buying a roll of filament, getting calipers, measuring the first 10 Meters of so of filament to get a diameter to change in my slicer, then test cube, then change bed height, then test cube, change the bed temperature, change nozzle temp, change flow, change speeds, change bridging...</p><p>Now?&nbsp; &nbsp;I throw some color into my hopper, and i have Three settings on my slicer profile:&nbsp; &nbsp;MG94 abs, GP-35 ABS, and PLA.&nbsp; &nbsp;thats it.&nbsp; i get Consistent results because the base material, and the handling is all the same. the only difference is the color. </p><p>admittedly some colors have small quirks, but unless im printing high accuracy, they are well within the margin of error on printed parts.</p><p>so there you have it:<br />you can save a few meters of filament per roll, and a few hours of your life, and frustration, by getting the consistent results of filastruder filament with a range of colorant.</p>]]></content>
