    Anyone try RadioShack Filament?

    Has anyone tried the Radioshack 3d printer filament yet? They only have 1 review on their website and it is a 5 star rating, but I don't really trust just one mere review.

    It's $49.99 for 1 kg normally, but much of it is currenlty on sale for only $29.99 (40% off). I'm very tempted to try it. They deliver to stores for free, or to your house if you spend $50+

    Think it's worth giving it a try?

    If it's anything like the rest of their products it's twice as expensive and 1/2 as good. Since that Chinese billionaire bought them its been going downhill and I heard it was going out of business or closing most of their stores. Maybe the filament price is liquidation.

    A 40% off is something you need to be suspicious about. I once bought some filaments in ebay and it resulted badly. Cheap things is not the way to go here.

    We don't know, but be careful.

    Yes, I tend to agree with the old saying: "you get what you pay for" but if the price is cheap enough, then it might be worth the risk. It's one thing to spend $500 on some great deal only to find out it's junk. It may not be so bad to try out cheap filament now and then as you can spend more on a couple of sandwiches at lunch than a roll of filament. If anyone tries the Radio Shack filament, let us know how it goes. It just might be a good deal.

    Did you ever buy any QuitNoMore?
