First, let me say I was not and am not dissatisfied with MakerGeeks product. Their filament has proven to be reliable outdoors and they clearly state it does have UV inhibitors for that purpose. Its their service of late that I can't stomach anymore.
So, couple questions for you. Where do you SHIP from. Doesn't say anywhere.
And I have a concern that the ABS you sell will not stand up to outside environments if its designed to break down as your content seems to claim it is. Most manufacturers of ABS put in UV inhibitors and stabilizers to prevent premature breakdown from environmental exposure. And again, the same question of your PETG. It seems you are striving to make your filament (and thus the printed parts) less environmentally stable. This is, unfortunately, the polar opposite of my needs. I need parts that will maintain their integrity living 24/7 outside in the sun, heat and winter cold, hanging from eves or stuck in the ground.
Here are examples of what I do:
This requires, rather obviously I should think, custom manufactured parts. There are 3D printed parts all over that display, some of which remain outside from October through January. Parts to hold floods, parts to hang things from the eves. Parts to hold the tree strips to the frame. Parts to hold the arches. 3D printed stakes and clips and fixtures. Lots and lots of printed parts. And the last thing I need is for them to degrade in the outdoor environment because someone wants to make the filament more "environmentally friendly". To be frank, I want a filament that is "environmentally defensive" and thumbs its nose at the environment to retain its strength, quality and longevity.
Printer will print perfect...
