Here is a place to get SoftPLA in 1.75mm and 3mm (Store in the USA)

http://www.makergeeks.com/flsofi.html

SoftPLA AKA FormFutra Flex EcoPLA

0.5 Kg rolls; Black or Natural. 3.00mm or 1.75mm. $45.95 and free shipping in the USA. (If you happen to be in Europe you maybe better off ordering straight from FormFutra as they are in Europe). Given the other prices I have seen for similiar SoftPLA it is a good deal (especially for me in the USA)

They say 2-3 weeks shipping time right now because they just ordered a pallet from the maker of the filament AKA FormFutra and it will be sent to them in about 2 weeks. I have been talking to the makergeeks.com site person, Joshua and was looking for SoftPLA and especially in 1.75mm and he is getting this stuff in. I ordered some other things from makergeeks.com and they came just fine and all. Still waiting on my Solidoodle 2, so can't test anything yet.

That is close but 3mm. Maybe I should get some Nylon to try out or something. Cheaper and more available.

Can't vouch for it, but I've seen this come up a couple times during the soft PLA discussion:

It's way expensive though. Even with shipping, the 2PrintBeta stuff is like $80/kg? Whereas this stuff is a whopping $140/kg. But if you just want to play around with a new material, a quarter kg at $35 isn't a bad introduction.

I am looking for a place in ths USA to buy Soft PLA in 1.75mm for my upcoming Solidoodle 2. I saw the ones at formfutura.com and they look great but since I am in the US, the shipping is $50+ alone.
