    Those look nice. But, would you mind making your own thread?

    And from your pictures, your filament looks very much like plastic. What are your printing temperatures?

    Since PVA is slightly cheaper, and water soluble, I feel it would be a better alternative than wax filament for support structures. That's assuming wax would even work for that purpose. But, it was...

    I attempted to test for using the wax as support, but I still need to the nozzle heights. They are off enough to cause issue. I have been more focused on other things, so I will revisit that later....

    If you like, I could edit the price for you to make it cost more than shipping! :) lol, j/k! Understandable.

    For the sample packs, the bulk of the cost is the shipping by design. The remaining...

    Thanks. I am hoping to see the one in brass in the next couple days. Super excited for that!

    We don't have a final price yet.

    There will be spools, and a pellet form available.

    The extrusion temp so far seems to range between 135°C, and 145°C depending on the printer. I have been using hair spay on 75°C glass for adhesion. I have been told that gluing a sheet of regular...

    Last week, we sent out a few spools for testing. One of the gentlemen agreed to cast that Yoda print for me. I wanted to smooth it out a bit, so I made a new print @ 50micron. I also tried some...
