| 4/30/2013 | PLA | Slight Oval | 3mm | 2.76mm x 2.98mm | 1kg | ???kg | $28/kg | - | Free | 8/10 | At $28/kg shipped, this is a low cost filament. The only major issue is the slight oval shape, but it hasn't provided me with any trouble yet. Also, the supplier confirmed that the slight oval shape is a result of the winding process (for cost) and their focus was on the quality and density of the material itself. Overall, very friendly, knowledgeable, and so far I'm getting good prints.

| April 2013 | ABS | round | 1.75mm | 1.65mm | 1kg | 1180g including spool | $28/kg | - | included | 6/10 | Drastically, consistently undersized. Comes on a small-radius spool, which makes it a bit tricky to use (which I knew ahead of time, but tried out because of low price). Doesn't include tolerances on diameter, but it's the same spool as Octave uses and they specify +/- 0.10mm. I managed to get a couple of layers down, but it's tricky because my extruder bottoms out. I'll update once I get a full print.
