Hi!
I'm pretty good at googling things, but other than the couple of Reprap "hobby" companies, I haven't been able to find an actual manufacturer that supplied the plastic in bulk. I accept for hobby purposes, $18-20 a pound is okay, but clearly a ubiquitous material like ABS costs a fraction of that. Not as familiar with where PLA is used in manufacturing.
I've been googling: Plastic, wire, coil, PLA, ABS, Manufacturer, filament, 3mm, without luck.
I'm sure you can find it in China, but I'd like to find who makes this stuff in the US. I did find reference that the ABS is used in plastic welding.
I'm in California, and I can imagine someone sells it around Los Angeles?
Thanks
Max
