I got a colorfabb exotics sample pack for christmas.
Here's a thing. Not one of the bags conatining the samples lengths was labelled.
I had to look up the pack online and then work out which bag held which filament.
Actually I just found the box and the filament isn't even in bags. Just loose coils of unlabelled filament.
This stuff isn't cheap - at the very least it should be in a bag with a sachet of silicon.
AT the very least I was expecting a label on the bags and a printed sheet with the printing specs on it in the box.
Nope they don't do that.

Right, ordered a roll of blue pla from you, worked out £24.85 with postage.
So that's still £6 a roll more than the reprapper. But I'll try it anyway :-)
I know I know, 3d filaprint offer free second class post delivery.
I'm just trying to compare like with like here.
Cheap as chips pla from ebay is £13 a roll delivered. And yeah it does warp a bit and gets brittle if left for a while and is wrapped way too tight on the reel. But for a quick print that doesn't need much presision - it definitely has it's place (poop bag dispensers for example :-) .
Right I've promised my mate a nasa coffe coaster in blue pla - so that'll be the first test for this stuff :-)
