    And that company would be?

    I should add the Enviro line of ABS is higher than $30 due to it's extra cost to manufacture. We do have an Economy line on standard spools under that price point.

    3D printer pens and FDM 3D printers both use plastic monofilament, PLA being the most common. What diameter of monofilament and what material your 3D pen can use will depend upon the 3D pen itself, what settings it has and the nozzle size.

    For instance we had a customer try out our 3mm ingeo PLA in their 3Doodler 3D pen.

    Don't get too excited about 3D Hubs, there are so many people on there now jobs are slim (and the place is a bit of a shambles at the moment..business at the front, mayhem in the rear.

    I personally recommend Torwell Filament, no it's not the cheap stuff but it's not ColorFab expensive. I have bought so many cheap rolls from Ebay off countless suppliers, the only good quality I would recommend from our asian counterparts would be Esun filament - that stuff is flawless (so far)

    I know this company because I have worked for them as a designer. They are very professional and know what they are doing in the business.
    I recommend trying their filaments. I hear a lot of good things about Hatchbox as well. And I second the opinion not to order from China because it's not reliable. They sometimes also send you the wrong products.

    is that the same as the colorfab pla/pha filament ?

    And how do you make abs biodegradable ? And does doing so alter any of it's properties - for good or bad ?

    I use a local filament firm coex3d. Website is a bit lame, but good info there and updated fairly frequently. Once you get to understand how the products are arranged, it isn't so bad. I've actually found the mobile version does a better job of differentiating the size spools. Colored PLA/ABS at 23, B/W at 21 per kg and 500g spools for 9-11. Running a free shipping deal now for orders over $100, code is coexfree. Need to select the free shipping option after entering the coupon, it doesn't automatically do it for you. They offer a local pickup option for anyone in NE Wisconsin as well.

    I only use their 3mm stuff, but found it to be very consistent and of good quality. I'm sure the 1.75 is just as good, I just have no need for it. Good price for domestic filament. I've found the company to be really responsive to email. They allowed me to test some of their new filament as well, just came out with a heat resistance pla they call pla prime, and a new PETG variant (don't think this is on the website yet, but pretty sure you could call and get a sample). I'm pretty excited about both, and the owners have a number of other filaments they plan on releasing before the end of the month.
