    Oh yes one other thing (lol)
    You're pla prices are currently among the highest in the uk. Drop them :-)
    At the moment if I'm looking for good filament not just cheap. 3dfilaprint offer me reprappertech ltd for £18 a kg.
    The cheapest I've found on your site is £22.80 for the same amount.

    That's a significant difference. And unless there was some really obscure filament type I was looking for I'd go with the reprapper tech pla as that is very nice stuff indeed.

    So there are more things to consider than just amount of filament - you need to be competitive price wise as well. At the moment you're one of the most expensive for basic filament.
    That said I might by a 250gm roll of something I didn't need a lot of.
    There are a lot of parameters you need to take into account :-)

    Very much appreciate the input. We will update the prices to make them more competitive (£18.35). We will do that over the weekend. Our aim is to gear our offerings around what people want so asking questions and canvassing opinions on forums like this are a great tool for us. The idea is that everyone gets what they want out of the relationship between buyer and seller.

    Thanks,
