Topic: 3mm filament
I haven't recieved my printer yet, and I have a super noob question. My wife purchased some 3mm filament for me as a Christmas gift. Can the Solidoodle use 3mm or only 1.75mm?
Re: 3mm filament
Whoops! Nope, only 1.75mm.
Maybe someone can design a change out for the extruder that will allow for a different filament type, but you're stuck with 1.75 on the stock SD2 (and SD3 I believe)
Re: 3mm filament
Okay, thanks I have contacted the seller, and they're going to let me send this back and swap it for the 1.75 mm

Good to stock up a little... You'll go through a spool faster than you think!
Luck on your wait!

This is the best advice ever lol. It only took me a couple days of off an on printing to really put a dent into my first roll. And of course you want a choice of color to make it interesting.

Order more now. I got my Solidoodle 1 almost exactly a year ago, and I kept running out of plastic right before the various 3-day holiday weekends, so that any order I placed wouldn't ship until the following Tues.

It's exactly this reason I just stocked up. I'm going to have 13 days off in a row over the holiday. If I don't have ABS dripping from my ceiling by new years day I will be upset.
To the original poster, helluva great wife to buy you some filament!!
