14, November 2011 ABS Round/Round 3mm 2.92 2.88 2.92 2.94 2.90 2LB (0.9kg) Black, 3mm, 1LB (0.45kg) Blue, 3mm, 1LB (0.45kg) Yellow, 3mm ???kg 17.75usd/LB (39.13usd/kg) - - See Notes Pros:
  • Extrudes at expected temperatures (235-240 in my case)
  • Wide color selection
  • High availability of stock
  • Clean extrusion, have not found air pockets or contaminates
  • Timely delivery (6 working days from ordered to at my door step)
  • Much more flexible than my last ABS roll, even after extrusion

Cons:

  • Slightly more expensive than other sources ($2.75 more per pound than Ultimachine)
  • Does not like to stay on the spool (at least when laid with the circular side facing the ground, I use a lazy Suzann type of bearing to roll the spool on) it tends to unwind naturally, so I need a bit of friction to keep it held still

Bottom line: I'm happy with this plastic and would probably buy again if nothing is obviously better or more available when I'm ready for another batch. If you are looking for specific colors, definitely give this place a look. For standard colors (black, white, natural) you may want to consider them as a backup source due to slightly higher pricing.
