    The sign up is a deal breaker for me.

    Thanks for the feedback, I understand your worried about the signup, no one wants junk email.

    We are still coding at the moment which is why we have a signup. Once we have finished coding there will be no sign up necessary, none whatsoever =)

    For now, we are using the signup for two reasons -

    1. to let people know when we launch
    2. when we do launch we want to hit the ground running

    Your email wont be abused, we will simply let you know when we are ready!

    I hope that helps with your worries about signing up.

    Cheers

    Sorry, until the site is sign-in free I will wait. I do think its a cool idea, but not worth the sign up. If you want to let people know, continue to bump your social media accounts about progress. IMO, there is no need to require logins to keep people informed with all the tools available today.

    Hello all,

    Its been a while since I last have updated.
    I have worked on the Beta version of a Filament Comparison site, check it out here: http://3dprinterfilamentcomparison.com/

    As mentioned the idea is to make it easy for you to compare the specification of materials and to help you find amazing filaments - they can be hard to find! Its great to be able to see clearly what filaments are capable of as well as knowing their price compared with other brands.

    Please have a look at 3D Printer Filament Comparison, I hope you will find it useful, if you have any problems or suggestions then please do let me know. LINK: http://3dprinterfilamentcomparison.com/

    Just to note, materials and brands are being added weekly (sometimes daily) so check back often for new materials or please recommend a great filament company.

    Thanks

    Paul

    Hi all, just an example here below for you to see.

    Screen Shot 2016-05-09 at 6.51.47 AM.jpg

    You can compare 4 companies and 4 materials at one time.
    For this one we are Focusing on material strength properties.

    In this screenshot we are comparing

    3 different Carbon Fibre materials, 1 Polycarbonate material.
    You can see the Material Weight
    The Material Cost
    Performance specifications to help you decide what one is good for you.

    You can check it out here:

    Let me know what you think.

    I don't know if you are aware of it, but this industry needs something like the UL Prospector materials database.

    The ability to search based on key properties. The problem in this world seems to be a lack of data on just what plastic is being used, and what exact properties it has. What this industry needs is for consumers to be able to find the base resin used in the filament.
