Anyone else order from Seacans.com (based in canada) I just got my shipment of two of their unique colors as well as their sampler pack of colors. Going to try out their filament tonight and see if there is any difference in quality. If not then 19.99 for a spool would be a nice change from 37 a spool (or more) for base colors.

sorry was missing an “s” its seacans. :wink: has been corrected in original post :D.

Nice…please post if if works well. Thanks!

Those dont much look like 1 kg spools though. for 19.99 it would be a good price but is that only a few meters? I was getting some for about $21-25 per kg spool +shipping from cheap low quality chinese vendor like reprapper.

only the top and bottom are full 1kg spools as those are solid colors and were 19.99 per spool. The other two spools are what they call their “Rainbow Pack 2 Rolls 2kg 1.75mm 8 Color ABS 3D Printing Filament Set” which is just a sampling of the colors they offer and not a full 2kg spool of each color by no means. That rainbow pack goes for 54 bucks so clearly not 19.99. I purchased the rainbow pack to “test the waters” with this company and see if the filament is decent or not to print with. The rainbow pack is nice in that i can test out each color they offer, because as most of us know colors can, and often do, vary in quality in printing. If this turns out to be high quality filament and being that its a canadian distributor makes this super affordable for those of use in the US and timely as well as i ordered this around wednesday of last week and it arrived today. If any one else has questions or specific tests that I might be able to perform let me know (and by i mean something reasonable too, not print as many chess men out with the orange color or print a life size version of katty perry in the blue) :wink:

nice! very exciting then. Keep us posted on your findings? ^^
I’ve tried some of the little test print/ challenge print files for my printer but I’m still exhausting calibration and design settings going through the cheap reprapper spools before jumping into the finer quality filaments. (its hard to make calibrated or print-to-fit parts with deviating diameters.)

According to the web site, the prices are in Canadian Dollars. $19.99 CAD for 1Kg comes out to $18 USD/kg. Then you have shipping. For example, that $54 2Kg Rainbow pack cost $86 delivered to California.

Hmmm, Let us know how it does, I’m in Canada and that’s a pretty good price for me.

I wonder if they are a repraper re-seller, Still a good price since repraper raised their prices, I can get 4 rolls for $104 shipped. Have you checked the diameter consistency yet?

I noticed they have no contact information, numbers addresses or even names, on their accessable webpage. I would also cast my vote they are a reprapper reseller.

it would be nice if they stocked some pla

Have you had a chance to test these yet?

nope not yet. I found a chip sample 3d model on thingiverse I liked and sticker combos. This is so I can make em and then show people what I colors and materials I can do and keep notes of what temps each uses if alternate from the default. I printed chips up for all of my current “makerbot” spools I had, will likely try these tonight, not sure if i’m going to do it before or after I upgrade my 2x with the heated glass upgrade and aluminum upgrade… most likely i’ll print the chips out before i upgrade. Last weekend spend finishing off two other projects (ant farms, with good and bad successes)
