So Hey all.
I'm looking forward to receiving my first 3d printer very soon. I'm totally new to all of this, other than research I've tried to do here, on youtube, and on thingiverse. My basic plan is to get the printer up and running, then downloading a few published projects to try before even attempting to learn how to design something on my own.
Anyway, for my initial purchase of filament, I was thinking of a sampler pack from makergeeks (http://www.makergeeks.com/mafisusapak.html) just to see what colors I thought would work, and so on.
I really have no idea what kind of filament consumption I could expect from what I'm up to though. I was thinking after a good calibration, I would attempt an Iphone 4 case or a small toy. Is 3m of a single color enough to accomplish any of these?
I will be working with a German Reprap Neo. .5mm nozzle takign 1.75mm PLA.
Any help here would be appreciated. This is going to be a very interesting road...
