    I have a total of three systems in my control. Two at school and one at home.

    I actually just ordered like five rolls the other day.

    -Anyway, My printer is almost here, sometime today! It came with 2 spools of filament, so I guess whenever I use those up, I'll let ya know.

    I was thinking the same thing! lol I look forward to hearing how fast you blow through that!

    Used most of one and bits of the others.

    I don't actually do a lot of volume printing at the moment.
    But I suspect as my list of things to print for christmas keeps growing. I'll get through a fair amount in december. The puzzle tube containers for the little bottles of sloe gin alone, will probably take a roll or two. And yes i know it's cruel - but it's the only way I can think of to make the stuff last :-)
    I've got 7 or 8 rolls of abs in various states of usage, a dozen or so samples of different materials and nowhere near as much time as I'd like to use it.

    And pla does smell - get some white that prints at 220 - smells like maple syrup :-)
    Awesome about how long do you think it takes you to run through a kilogram of material? A few weeks? Maybe a month?

    Maple syrup you say? I would get so hungry!

    Oh wow that has to take a lot of tuning to keep three systems running!! how long do you expect those 5 rolls to last you?
