Australian Filament Suppliers (Page 2 of 9)

I just received a very small supply of the temperature changing filament. One changes from grey to white, the other from blue to yellow at around 30C.

Should be good for some fun!  Mood rings anyone ?? ( Only 2 moods available. Dead or alive!) 8-)

I'm also taking pre orders on the clear ABS which should be here in a week or so.

I also have a new secret sample coming......

Thanks Lawsy for your support. It will be in the post tomorrow.

ohhhhhh keep us posted!

received an email saying my crysta-line shipped.

thanks

Thanks Lawsy! Much appreciated.

I think I'm a little annoyed because I didn't want to have to get filament shipped from Australia.  However since I like clear ABS, and I have girls who would think that anything printed in pink is awesome, it might be unavoidable.

How feasible is it for you to offer smaller quantities in coils?  I like the pink, but I don't know if I could ever use 1kg of it.  Since shipping overseas is expensive, I would rather get 3 colors in 1lb each, rather than way too much of one "specialty" color.   

As for other colors, Blue and Green and Red are obvious choices, maybe yellow and purple as well.  I would probably buy a full kg of the blue.

Hi Ian,

I don't think it will be a problem to offer small amounts without reels. But from experience it can quickly turn into a birds nest if not handled properly. But if you are fine with that then I'll look into it.

I am keen to offer smaller sizes on reel too, if there is demand? Say 500g ?

I should note that this is the "red". As its printed quite thin it looks a slight pink colour. I'm not sure this is totally unavoidable. I can try getting more red put in, but then we risk losing the transparency.

Blue and green are in the pipeline, and maybe yellow?. It will all be a few weeks away at best though. I'll keep you posted.

I'll also put updates on my blog as things progress.

Cheers
Jamie

Ian,

Where are you located?  I'd be up for splitting an order and shipping if you're not too far away... I'd probably end up getting a reel of every color, just to have on hand.  I'm in MD.

Hi macmub,

seems there is a new blue to white colour changing filament in the pipeline. Not sure when it will be released though.

Cheers
Jamie

Reels for smaller quantities would be great, but everyplace that offers less than 1kg only offers coils.  If you are allowed to buy .5kg spools, you would be lucky.  Coils can be a pain, but apparently you can spool from the side if there is a way for the coil to turn, either on a lazy susan, or suspended from a bearing like http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:85

1kg for mine

Most likely just the one size. But perhaps its a good opportunity to try a smaller roll. I might get a mix of both in the next order and see from there.
