Wanting to put together a bulk order of PLA or ABS. IF you go in on this, it will be only ~$19 per kg spool. Some of the best plastic I have printed. Made in USA. pushplastic.com for colors and types. Let me know!by brantpeery - Idaho RUG
I know this topic is old, but a hint to all that may come across it. Use a thinned mixture of Elmers glue to keep PLA down. 5 parts water to 1 part glue. Mix it in a jar and put on a new coat when ever you print. Works wonders! It is similar to ABS juice for ABS printing. Hint: use a sponge brush to apply it in a thin coat with the bed at print temp (~60c). The first time you apply it, put on thrby brantpeery - General

I am getting ready to put all the parts together that I have bought for a Rostock printer. Do any of you know a good place to get the parts printed? Someone who would do them for cost would be awesome as I am just getting started and getting $$ from the boss (read as my wife) is difficult. I promise to pay the favor forward as soon as I have a working printer. In fact if someone were to print meby brantpeery - Idaho RUG
I am from Idaho Falls. I am currently in the process of building the Rostock printer as my first build. I am very excited to finally be creating instead of just dreaming. I welcome any advice or friendships and would love to meet others from the area that are enthusiasts.by brantpeery - Idaho RUG
