Topic: Cheap, awesome filament

I wanted to introduce myself and our company, but I also wanted to pick your brains a bit.

We sell PLA filament, among other things. 8 colors - soon to be 13.  $18 a roll with $4 flat shipping (regardless of how many rolls you buy). We'll probably kick off ABS and other types early next year if our sales keep blowing up like they have.

We're getting great reviews (Fabaloo did a solid write-up).  Check us out if you want very high quality filament at a crazy low price. The company name is FoxSmart.

---

The question: Would anyone be interested in a subscription program? We launched less than a month ago and already have people who have ordered over 4 times. I go through about 2 rolls a month and I get mine at cost, but I guess some of you are crazy 3Ders and plow through this stuff. If we offered, say 3 rolls a month for $54ttl ($18 per) but with free shipping, would anyone jump on that? 3 a month. Choose your colors, type of program. I dunno...we're just exploring it in theory.

Feel free to email me or discuss here. I'm a real dude. Name is Tommy. I have a Robo3D with plans for a Solid (likely) and a Micro once they're shipping.  Cheers, Tommy.

Re: Cheap, awesome filament

1 printer running about 3/5.  1kg rolls. We use ours for prototyping products that generally then go to tooling, as well as playing around with prints so we can test colors, shapes, et.c. We're not an industrial print house. We're an import company that happens to love 3D printing.

Now that we're actually selling our own filament that will likely ramp up. I confess to knowing more about my personal usage than I do what's going on in the industry and how most people use their printers. That's sort of why I was asking how much the average user will go through a month.
