I have had nothing but problems with filament quality the last year. When my supply from Ultimachine ran out I went to other suppliers as their shipping was murder to Canada but I have since spent 3x more and have not printed a SINGLE THING! My problem is simple, I can extrude at 250+mm/min without a care in the world but when I extrude slowly the filament jams and strips out. From the Printing Material Suppliers Wiki: "It had bulges that jammed my extruder and did not work well when printed below ~48 mm/sec, making it unsutable of single prints of small objects." The filament I am having the problems with is from Mbot3d and they have not responded to my emails about low quality issues and I would like to print something this YEAR. I do not have much money to waste so I want to get a known reliable filament and if I can get it from one of the two amazon suppliers that would be quite a benefit SainSmart 1.75mm ABS Filament 1kg/2.2lb blue. Jet - ABS 1.75mm, Grey color, 1.0kg/2.204lb Has anybody used these filaments before? My friend has the SainSmart blue right now and says its working great but the wiki has their white PLA has horrible quality so I want to make sure before I buy. Alternatively what other brand would you recommend for around $50? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208227,208227#msg-208227 Mon, 20 Apr 2026 18:24:29 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208227,208727#msg-208727 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208227,208727#msg-208727 dissidence General Tue, 14 May 2013 21:29:51 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208227,208675#msg-208675 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208227,208675#msg-208675 Drangid General Tue, 14 May 2013 16:50:10 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208227,208653#msg-208653 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208227,208653#msg-208653 Raintbot3d and have had good luck with them. I have used only their ABS in white, glow in the dark green, and green/blue color changing (heat based) filament. I have gotten all my orders within a few days of my order (usually about 3-4).]]> lotw General Tue, 14 May 2013 15:15:45 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208227,208651#msg-208651 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208227,208651#msg-208651
In fact I stock it in my own store. :)

US I've tried MakerBot and 3DPrinterStuff. Both are Good Quality.

Ultimachine is presumed to be as good as the above. I haven't actually use any yet.]]> Komb' General Tue, 14 May 2013 14:59:26 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208227,208424#msg-208424 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208227,208424#msg-208424 Crussell General Mon, 13 May 2013 21:50:08 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208227,208313#msg-208313 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208227,208313#msg-208313
Eckertech is located in Canada, and seem to have quality stuff. I haven't ordered plastic from them, but I do have one of their hot ends.
