What are the filament specifications?

Post by hcdbey »

Never printed before. I would like to know if there are specifications for filament I can quote to ensure I get good filament or is it simply a matter or buying from a trusted supplier?

Also, can anyone recommend an ABS filament supplier in Paris, France?

If you're in Europe, check out Colorfabb.

The specs and chemistry vary considerably between manufacturers, and most if it is undocumented/unconfirmed so your best bet is to find a supplier that you trust.

Thanks. I am in Africa but Europe is probably my nearest best bet for colorFabb filament. I will give them a try.

You want the 1.75mm stuff.

ABS or PLA is up to you.
