Hi all.
Please let me know orders via email.
Joy and I are going to order some plastic for 3d printing. The plastic is for an assignment due start of october so I plan to place the order very promptly.
Would the space or anyone else like to join the order? Eg some 1.75 PLA for the nicely working Printrbot? The more ordered the cheaper the final price per spool is.
I have shopped around and found a few sources that offer comparable prices. Depending on the quantity ordered determines the cheapest source.
According to 3ders the cheapest from 3d printer site stores is US$20 something + postage per Kg. Places in Australia are more expensive but probably faster to get here. Cheapest I have found is via aliexpress.
All options via aliexpress would use a shipping company so I expect it will take about a week to arrive. I have previously ordered plastic from china and was happy with almost all of it. That said I can’t find the same source and will be ordering from somewhere else.

To join in the order tell me what you want including quantity, diameter (1.75mm or 3mm), plastic (ABS or PLA) and colour very soon. I will choose the best price for the quantity ordered. When the plastic is available and I have been reimbursed I will make the plastic available at the space.
Cheers,
Ian.
