            <description><![CDATA[ Hi Zach. Glad you have ABS. Guess it will be one popular material ;)<br />
<br />
By the way: I'd love to have 1/3 Green, 1/3 White, 1/3 Black in the future. As long as it's about the same price/weight and fits in an international box leaving some room for kits/PCBs...]]></description>

<br />
i can try, but the RRRF is still in not-much-capital startup mode, so we may have to go through a few cycles of natural-green-black before i can stock all 3 at the same time.  i'll talk to my supplier and see what i can do.]]></description>

Zach, be sure to blog it on RRRF, I'm monitoring that. I'll be ordering a.s.a.p. once you have it... (along with Arduino + arduino-based kits)]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ It just depends on whether your extruder barrel was sized exactly for 3 mm or for something a little bigger.  Mine won't handle 1/8", but then I make my barrels out of 5/32" hard copper tube stock which has almost precisely a 3 mm ID.<br />
<br />
The Mk II polymer pump part of the extruder will eat 1/8" filament quite happily.]]></description>

Sure enough, they have two colors in 1, 5, 10 and 15 lb coils. It's 1/8" diameter (3.175mm), which should be OK. I ordered a 1 lb coil (part # 7889A85) to see what it's like.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Hi Steve,<br />
<br />
... for testing with ABS you can reuse the housings of outweared flatbed-scanners or printers - they commonly are made from ABS.<br />
<br />
Grind some of the plastic down to powder, then you can solve it to ABS-paste, remelt it to pure ABS-bricks or squeeze melted ABS through a tube for filament ...<br />
<br />
