There is no choice and for me it is 1 day shipping (though they use 2nd day priority mail) because I am so close but with customer support like that I will stay away from them in the future. Seriously, things happen but you, as a company, do NOT make your customers wait and suffer you, as a company, make it right and the company handles all of the hassle behind the scenes.
They may make the best filament in the universe but with CS like that they fall to <=1 star.
I heard good things about Hatchbox and I used to use their ABS but it was softer than other ABS so I stopped using them. On Amazon they are currently unavailable for all of their PETG so I don't know what is going on.
eSun is supposed to be good too but a bit pricier and made in S.E. Asia I believe.
I was hoping to buy American made stuff to help support the USA but with this, and all of my dealings with USA sellers on eBay, I am getting a real sour feeling towards USA anything these days.

My shipment from MG came UPS and was in my hands 2 days after I placed the order. I've plenty of beefs w/ the various shipping companies, but they never listen so I've stopped wasting my time. I have an RV and keep it in the side yard, it's a hundred or so steps closer to the road than my front door. Every so often a delivery person will leave my boxes at the RV. The text announcing delivery says "Package left at front door." I guess they deserve some credit, but wow...

I just got my PLA order from Makergeeks. All of the rolls say the temp is 230c Is this right? Seems I was using 200c for the QIDI supplied PLA. Thoughts??!!

All of the PLA I have I run at 225-230c so makes sense.
I made a tower once that I wanted to check the proper temp to run at and every 10mm I went up 10c and 220-230 was best whereas my ABS 230-245c was. Of course I dunno where that tower is now so I will need to make a new one when I switch brands to find the sweet spot for it.
The best way to test is to have it say what temp it is at and use boss extrudes and cuts for the lettering and you will easily see. Use no supports.

Ah, the seductive power of magnets, or something like that. For better or worse I've put the whole Boro glass and steel sheet adhesive sandwich together again. (Gotta use up those extra 3M adhesive sheets.) Since my Boro is already pitted on one side, if (when?) it also happens to the fresh un-pitted side I will trash it without trying to salvage the Maghold steel sheet. That was just too much of a pain to do very often. Once was more than enough. It's good to be back online.
