If a specific printer gets enough attention, I have no problem making a dedicated section for it. We started off as a solidoodle forum, but now we are open to everything.

+1

Once the wiki page is built up we can sticky a thread pointing to it.

Your best bet is to make a post in the thread DeParted linked aggregating all of the info, or a wiki page. Once there is a good central location with *quality* information, PM a moderator and ask them to stick it.

I could start it off with my input on the filaments I've used. I am not sure if filaments behave that much differently with different printers, but so far I can only conclude that SD filament works well with common colors like blue, red, white, and green, and so far Octave is a bit runny and has shreded a bit more than the SD filament, which only means I should clean the gears every other print (which for $10 less than SD could be worth it). Also I have been weighing the rolls full and empty so I know how much I actually get when I order from various companies. I worry it is ultimately all from China anyway, but there are some apparent differences between them. lol. Maybe people could review even the width of the roll itself. I personally prefered the wide roles because the filament was wrapped better and didn't yank the Y carriage when it snagged. How can I start building a sticky? I was thinking mostly in terms of tables of data, and some reviews in ones own words.

If I could I'd love to create a sticky for reviewing filaments and other parts so everyone can give their input in a more tabulated way instead of just in a particular context throughout the forums.
