Where are we buying good ABS in the UK now?

I did a quick search of the forums but couldn't find any ABS recommendations only PLA. I'm about to finish a spool and it's not the best quality. It varies in diameter along its length from about 1.72 to 1.76 which is noticable in prints.

So where do I get the sort of filament Walter White would make?

Walter White would however only make it as blue transparent.

Im using 3mm abs from 3dfilaprint. They do 1.75mm and lotsof other materials as well.
The diameter is pretty stable through the roll.
Prices are quite good as well.

Not involved with them except as a customer.

Yeah, but it would never warp and probably smell faintly of happiness

Gak, their website doesn't work properly on the 1930's browser we have at the office. I'll have a look later. I've ordered a reel from Rigid.ink for now as hopefully it will be here tomorrow. I'll let you know how I get on with it.

Uklan, can I ask how you got on with your rigid.ink filament?

I use 3dFillaprint too, happy with their service and products

I've been getting e-sun filament from HobbyKing, via their UK warehouse (I live about 30 minutes drive from them!). They have all the basic colours, although what they call red is more 'chinese red', i.e. a reddish-orange. It prints well, no vices spotted so far, and comes in a vacuum-packed bag with dessicant and all in a strong box. All spools are 500g, which is good if you want to get a range of colours at not too high a price.

Make sure that the item you're planning to buy is from the UK warehouse before placing your order (they have outlets in many countries, and items from HK are cheapest, but when you buy from the UK all taxes are paid and delivery is quick).
