Thanks for the update Tim.  We haven't seen you around these parts for while now.  Hope things are well.


I will be back soon hopefully.Almost Done with the first of a 2 phase reno. Should at least be able to get computer and printer back up soon.

I know what your up against.  In the process of selling, moving and building this summer.  It's going to be a long few months.
Looking forward to seeing you back.

$33 for a ABS spool + free shipping.
Their PRO series is $44 is great quality.

They also carry experimental filaments.

Not sure of the quality as my printer is out of commission until I get through this renovation. I don't know what this means for orders placed now but at least they made good on my order after the better part of a year.

I just put an order in with Makibox. They are in Hong Kong so my average price was $22/kg shipped. I says 4-6 week lead time plus there is shipping. I will let you know around August.

Just wanted to make sure to update this. It has been 5 months and 7 Days since placing this order and still have yet to receive anything. My last correspondence was as follows:

I just ordered some from 3 sources will report how it does later.

if your buying from Ebay, find the guys selling the material Cheap, and charging for shipping, because we dont pay duty on the shipping part.

I found a guy on Ebay selling a 1kg spool for 19$, and they seem to work well. I am going to be picking up a Order of PLA because I havent figured out ABS yet

http://www.aliexpress.com/
and
http://www.alibaba.com/

There are a lot of options there and some of them ship free or cheap but I did not try any of them and I do not know about the quality.

Shipping from US could reach $60 for one spool with some reaching $108 like nylon 618 from amazon!
So, ChiN is good choice for me but I need quality.

Does anyone know good filament suppliers from china?

I ask that because buying from US and shipping to my country is very expensive.
Shipping from china sometimes is cheap or free.

This forum is FULL of Chinese distributors, but I don't think any of them ship free.
