Now he has foolishly got himself one of those fangled printer things....




Yes, that is:
19 x 1kg reels of PLA
3 x 0.8kg reels of Flexible
2 x 0.5kg reels of ABS

all hung on plasterboard

That's .. quite a lot of money sitting on your shelf 

I wouldn't mind picking up some nicer colours of PLA and some ABS .. but since I'm still mostly futzing with settings, I'll keep using this £20 reel of Anycubic black PLA 

I have now printed a Calicat, a new fan duct and a temp tower though I suppose eventually I'll start printing useful things (actually, right now it is printing a Gotek mount for my Spectrum +3...)

I tend to stock up on PLA when there are deals on, and rarely pay more than £10 for a 1kg reel of PLA, and usually much less, hence the row of unopened boxes.

Trouble with Hobbyking, you have to use the UK or EU warehouse, as you will always get hit at customs if ordered from Global (China) - which is fair and reasonable - but then you get hit an extra £16 for a courier "handling charge", on top of the postage costs you paid when you ordered.


You probably already know, but PLA needs to be stored dry, so I put mine in those double locking "Ziplock" bags, with a large dessicant pack "borrowed" from my nearest green street cabinet
