You can also make the Up spools fit in the press by cutting the ribs from one side of the centre support.

I have a spool of Inland Black ABS in my printer at the moment. It doesn't sit all the way down in the holder on the Press, and the top and front panel can't close all the way. But it seems to print pretty well (better than the Solidoodle White ABS that the printer came with, IMHO).

Yesterday I tried a roll of Micro Center's ABS filament ("Toner Plastics" brand) on my Press and it fits perfectly, other than that it's too tall to allow the top lid to close. So far it's printing really well, too! It comes in several colors and is unbelievably cheap (~$16 for 1kg). I'm not allowed to post links yet, but it's easy to find by going to microcenter.com and searching for "toner abs" smile They ship, if you're not near one of their stores.

The Toner plastics white seems to work quite well for me. The yellow doesn't stick as well in my printer.

Seems like it wouldn't take much to mod the Press hinges and lid for just a little more clearance to more gracefully accomodate Toner Plastic's 1kg reels.

We tested the printer Delta in the 3D Universal,where we used ABS plastic and it worked out great. What do you think about the material such as "Krasten" ???

They are about 8 7/8" in diameter, 2 1/8" in width, and the center hole is about 2" in diameter.

Just out of curiosity, what are the dimensions of the Press filament spools?

I placed an order for a spool of black when I ordered my printer back in October.

This is what I was told when I asked about shipment:

Hi Christopher:

Thank you for reaching out to us. We have not begun to shipping out Press filaments yet. We are hoping to begin shipping out Press filaments as soon as possible. You will receive an email confirmation with tracking once it has shipped.

I'm curious as well as Solidoodle told me they aren't shipping filament spools yet. 

That sure makes a lot of sense.....
