I’m sat here and just noticed that the reel of PLA that i’m currently printing with is running low…

now I’ve been using E bay for my supply… but with E bay being a expensive way to sell things… and me looking to get 4 or 5 rolls of different colours is there anyone out there in the UK who can recommend a suppler before i go and Buy it now…

thanks

I’m not in the UK but I’ve heard good things about Faberdashery’s PLA:

I got a sample kit from faberdashery and its good stuff; I’d be ordering all my filament from them if the shipping to the us wasn’t so brutal

@Jason_Gullickson buy from http://printbl.com if you’re using PLA. Diamond Age filament is better than faberdashery.

Does printbl have 1.75 pla?

I agree with @ThantiK , but http://printbl.com doesn’t have 1.75mm yet.

They should have it soon last I recall.

Diamond Age (http://printbl.com’s supplier) makes 1.75mm filament, but it’s the same price (well, within 10%) per meter as 3mm (3x the price by volume/weight). This is because it takes the same amount of time on the filament extruder per meter to make. They’re working on a die with 3 1.75mm holes so that it can extrude the same volume/hour at that size to bring the price down, but it’s not ready yet.

I use these guys:

http://www.kdipolymerspecialists.co.uk/

They have good quality ABS and PLA at 1.75mm and 3mm

They also sell through amazon.
