---+ High Density Polyethylene A strong, cheap, durable plastic with a solid melting point of 110C. HDPE Is one of the more finicky plastics to extrude. It does not stick together well, and because it shrinks a lot when it cools tends to distort readily. Experiments with a roasting bag suggest this may be partly prevented by depositing in a warmed environment. The novice is encouraged to use ABS or PLA before attempting HDPE. ---++ Suppliers Check the forums... someone might be able to ship you some for cheap. *USA* | *Price* | *Supplier* | | $4.50 / lb | Call Donna at +1 (330) 854-3010 [[http://www.plasticweldingrod.com][plasticweldingrod.com]] and tell them Forrest or Reprap sent you. (5 lb minimum order, delivery on small orders tends to take several weeks, updated 21 January 2009)| ---++ More info on [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDPE][Wikipedia]].
