What quantity do yo want to buy your 3D printer filament in?

Hi Wolfie, did you look at their sample pack ? http://colorfabb.com/specials-sample-pack

Ordered it.

I got a colorfabb exotics sample pack for christmas.

Here's a thing. Not one of the bags conatining the samples lengths was labelled.
I had to look up the pack online and then work out which bag held which filament.

AT the very least I was expecting a label on the bags and a printed sheet with the printing specs on it in the box.
Nope they don't do that.

Sigh. Seems to be a trend. I ordered the exotics pack from MakerGeeks. It too came in random bags. Absolutely no labeling. They even put out a youtube video on how to identify what was in it! Seriously. How hard is it to print a sheet of labels and apply them on the bags? Sad thing is that two of the filaments were not even on the list or the video of what was to be included in the pack. Not sorry they did the subs but it made identifying them nearly impossible. Took several emails over two weeks to sort it out. Should not be this way. A box of Avery sticky labels are not that expensive and are easy to run through a laser printer in under half a minute.

I will say, one of the GlobalFSD boxes arrived (found its way out of Chicago after a week of circling downtown Chicago). The two samples that are in it were in individual ziplock bags with a descant pack in each. There was a proper label on each one noting manufacturer, filament name/type, diameter and it even noted what the batch # and the manufacture date were. No printing specs but knowing what it is, I can find that out easily. The critical info who made it and what is it are there. Well done GlobalFSD. This is the RIGHT way to handle samples. Well marked so we don't have to roll the freaking dice and guess or have to get all Sherlock on it.
