Topic: Beta testing of filament

I am currently testing and working with different kinds of materials on my Filastruder. I have had success printing with the filament I make, but I also want to see if it will work for you.

I plan to send out samples of polycarbonate, maybe nylon, ABS, maybe ABS/PC, PLA, and TPU. TPU is flexible filament. Currently I have some flexible filament and ABS filament that I can send out.

I have a few requirements, and those are that you send me some picture of a print made with the material I send you, and that you do a short write up for me.

The write up would be in this format:
Tolerances over a few meters
Quality of prints produced when compared to previous prints
Color consistence
Did it clog your hot end? (it should not)
Easy or hard to print with, and explain why
Would you buy this at a reasonable price?

Preferably I would like to have someone who is experienced, and is running a e3d v6 or other all metal hotend.

Post a reply down bellow, or PM me if you are interested

Re: Beta testing of filament

I don't know if I meet your requirements for someone with experience or not.  I would be interested in helping you out particularly with the more exotic materials.  The only downside is I am not much of a writer but would be happy to do a write up to the best of my ability.

You defiantly meet the experience requirement. I can send you out some TPU and ABS. PM me if that sounds good.
