Oh here we go again. 4 out of 6 posts about 3D2print... the other 2 useless filler. I think I've sufficiently proven that these guys like to spam the hell out of any forum they come across. But why not PM me again with another warning about accusing members.
Edit: Just for the record, in case you thought I was wrong about this guy too (probably the same person - again referencing Minecraft miniatures? lol):
You have a point here, that the pellets are often sourced from China, the issue is more a matter of quality control however. Most of the problems that are encountered regarding filament has to do with the diameter tolerance, moisture, contamination, less so about the actual properties of the filament.
That being said, there are some quality filaments that I buy from China. I've already mentioned Wanhao. I think their filament is pretty decent. The tolerances have been very consistent, and my prints come out clean, and without too many issues.
I've been doing a whole lot of research on filaments / filament resellers, and suppliers. It would be nice if the seller listed the manufacturer, but yeah, like you said, I understand why they don't. Though, sometimes the resellers prices are decent enough, or even better than what I could get it for direct. Shipping on some filaments isn't cheap when ordering from China to the U.S., so as long as I knew what I was actually getting, I wouldn't mind ordering from the reseller. A good example of this is with Winbo filament. I wanted to try this stuff, but shipping was far too high to make it cost effective, even when ordering several spools. I could buy a single spool cheaper on Amazon and get it in 2-days with my Prime shipping. 3D-Filaments.com resells rebadged Winbo under their name Honeycomb Drone. Their price for it isn't bad either, yet, when I contacted the seller asking him about colors based on Winbo's selection, he did not respond (Though, he responded very quickly before I mentioned Winbo).Last edited by atoff; 05-29-2014 at 11:58 AM.

And yet, my latest warning from RobH2
atoff,
I'm going to ask you to please keep it professional. If you want to report someone whom you think is a spammer please do so. But, just report it. I would caution you that to get defensive or to challenge us to PM you again is unnecessary.
Please step back from all of this and see it from a different perspective. Calling someone out in the middle of a thread until we have plenty of evidence that they are spamming is not going to be tolerated. The proper way to have handled the other one would have been to alert us privately and asked us to look into it instead of just throwing the accusation out. Whether you were ultimately right or wrong is immaterial. Because, what will happen one day is that a user who is legitimate will get called out in error. And that's not fair to anyone.
In the end, spam is a nuisance. It's not worth getting as worked up about as you seem to be. We'll see it and delete it and move on.
This is a "discussion" forum right?
"Plenty of evidence..." I think the only thing that would have made it more obvious would have been if they'd added "Hi, btw, I'm spamming your forum" to their posts.
"Keep it professional..." I'm keeping it civil, clean, calm, rational... I didn't realize joining this forum meant being hired (without pay mind you!) into your corporate world.
And this "getting worked up about..." What exactly makes it seem like I'm "getting worked up" about it? lol Absurd. I'm pointing it out... I think it's amusing... but getting worked up? Uhm, no. Rob, you're projecting your own mindset.Last edited by atoff; 06-03-2014 at 11:11 AM.
