Radio Shack Filament for $25/kg

Post by Fiero2M6 »

Radio Shack has a one day sale today: http://www.radioshack.com/family/index. ... D+printing

I've never bought filament from them before, but I decided to give it a shot. Can't beat the price with free pickup in store.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I'm going to take Radio Shack ("You have questions? We have dumb looks! Here, buy a cell phone!") selling filament as the first sign of the upcoming apocalypse...

Did Staples selling them give you a warm fuzzy?

I wonder if Radio Shack and others are going to follow Microsoft's lead and sell 3D printers in their stores, possibly in an attempt give people a reason to go to them. I have a feeling that services like Amazon Prime are going to put brick-and-mortar stores in the same boat as movie theaters and AM radio. There was a South Park a year ago about how all UPS does anymore is deliver Amazon boxes.

Radio shack sells Afinia H printers now, started just before the lawsuit was filed by stratasys. Could be a factor, as afinia became a larger competitor to mbi
