Contest winners!!!

Anyone get their filament from: http://www.formfutura.com/ ?

I am still waiting.

I'd suggest you contact them directly.
Worked for me :-)

So I got a package from Maker Geeks today.

I was told I won some filament and to pick what I wanted from their store. I chose some black Ninjaflex because it was under their PLA tab. I chose some of their bronze PLA as a back-up in case the Ninjaflex didn't count, even though it was under the PLA tab on their site.

What I got was an inconceivably small sample of material that I guess is blue 1.75" PLA judging by the marker writing on the bag. The bag weighs more than the sample and the sample is neither of the materials I asked for.

Is this a separate sample and I still await what I asked for, or did I get nothing that was I was told I would?

I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth, but two months after the contest ends and I get exactly nothing that was promised.

check the prize wording and contact makergeeks directly.

I contated Formfutura directly and they said it was up to 3D Print Board. Well time to give up, I am not playing this back and forth for a roll of filament.

If it were another company I would be suspicious, but Makergeeks are pretty trustworthy all round good folk, if something went wrong it's possibly because they are super busy and it got mixed up.

Try and contact Josh, he is a really top notch guy

I haven't heard a word at all from them...

Update:

I emailed Maker Geeks. I explained the situation as I did above. They emailed me back super fast and explained that I got a package intended for another client. They asked me my choice for the filament and said they would get it out immediately. I was impressed at teh speed with which they replied and offered a solution. If it comes as they said I will post another update.

They have a good reputation, and for now I will say it is earned.

[Mjolinor]

It's all very confusing this now. Should we have an update saying who has honoured their end and who has not, name and shame so to speak?

Vendors do this sort of thing for publicity and if they do not honour their end we should know so that we can deliberately avoid dealing with them.
