    I answered this in another thread im petty sure.. anyone rememeber where that other poll was?

    I use about 4-5 rolls per week, all different suppliers and on 3 different machines. I can go through half-3/4 of kg per day depending on what I need to print (ie printer part kits can be 400-500 grams alone)
    The biggest consumer is probably my Kossel mini because it prints about twice as fast as the others and can really go through the roll fast.

    It doesnt take alot to keep multiple printers tuned as long as you calibrate them well and build them well.

    This is my overflow stock, as in all my plastic tubs are full and sealed, this is what I can't fit...

    There is a downside to having alot of filament and that's my wife, but thats' a story for another day...
