As I’m graduating college in a few weeks, I’ll be losing access to my university’s free printers and filament. I’m going to build up a home lab with a couple printers where I can make goofy little mechanical projects as well as some components for my cars and stuff.
Who’s your go-to for PLA and ABS/ASA filaments? Those will be my primary print jobs in any serious volume. I know our college’s club has had hella problems with random chinese brand filaments not printing consistently but I also don’t want to spend $30+ per kg for something like Prusament.
I’m in the EU and have been buying filament from https://www.123-3d.nl/ so far. They also have an English shop https://www.123-3d.co.uk/.
My go-to is their “REAL” PLA brand. It’s good quality, is made in NL and comes on cardboard spools.
I am a bit fed up with all the shit they throw in with each order though, there’s only so many pens and stacks of post-its I need. When I remember, I add a line in the notes field to leave it out.
