Topic: Buying Filament

Do most people that buy their ABS get it from different locations based on color and properties, or do most get all of it from the same companies?

For example I find SD's common colors like white, blue, green, red are just fine, but I've heard their black clogs up easily and therefore another source would be needed. And they have no glow in the dark. Octave I know has glow in the dark and many others, but I don't think they have PLA at all, and no transparent. Is there any one stop shipping for filament? I am more interested in quality and variety than necessarily going for the lowest price.

I get mine from the same company, at 3d2print. They’ve been my filament supplier for a year now, and I don’t want to acquire from other companies because I’m already satisfied with the quality from 3d2print. You can shop at their website and choose from the varieties of filament they offer.

Delicious spam!
