Let us know your thoughts - we know not everyone uses Solidoodle filament here, but Solidoodle filament fans will enjoy the wider variety.

PLA, PLA, PLA

If you guys sell a printer that doesn't have a heated bed, then PLA should be an offering as it is the most likely to give success to those unfortunate individuals. tongue

Re: New colors in the store

Not trying to be a wet blanket here, but i would buy nothing but your filament if shipping was free.  Amazon has free shipping and the filament is 12$ cheaper, and so far has worked flawlessly.

I wouldn't mind the 12$ extra, but paying 16$ extra on top of that just for shipping makes zero sense.

Considering I live in the US and I know what it costs to ship stuff.  The extra "handling" fee is silly considering you are in the business of handling things and that should be worked into the cost of the product and deducted from your taxes accordingly.

Roger what cod3r said. Free your thoughts, free your mind, free shipping.

USPS Priority Mail is usually the least expensive, free supplies, they'll even pick it up, I don't know why everyone still uses UPS/Fedex, et al. Plus, they are usually at least as quick.

UPS/FedEx is way cheaper for all but flat rate, especially if you have a commercial account.

Filastruder - the robust, inexpensive filament extruder
E3Dv6 All Metal Hotend - the premier 3D printing hotend
