I'm very pleased with the quality and the color variety. Better than your average filaments and better than makerbot's in my opinion.

Don't be silly, helicopters can't be ninjas.  The ninjas are the ones that slide down the ropes and have me sign for packages with their ninja pens.  Unfortunately there is no package tracking because you can't track ninjas.

First thing that came to mind

SainSmart 1.75mm ABS Filament  Blue, very shiny flow is good, needed to put cat whiskers on the reel to keep it from unspooling on me.  amazon . I ordered it on Tuesday and on wednesday is came. A dark black SUV delivered it. It is kept in stock near indianapolis. Still not as good as my filastuder makes
Additional issues with the SainSmart filament include contaminants, poor spooling that requires constant watching to keep print going. The filament locks up after a few coils. Really sucks.........Many ruined prints, cant leave it alone for more than a few minutes.

Something that might be useful for a review is a temperature test.  As you turn the temp down while extruding into air, at some point the gear marks will still be visible in the extruded plastic.  You could check to see what temperature that happens at, and compare it to other filaments.

Color(s): White, Grey
Cost: $33/roll
Diameter: 1.75mm
Print Temp (c): 195
Pros: Fast Shipping when ordered direct from octave,

Feel free to make changes or get rid of it.

Edit: Made changes to the Format, I'll update as needed.
