So far the materials I have used are some
Makerbot ABS (Black and White), some
UltiMachine PLA (Green), and some New Zealand (from Vik Olliver) PLA (red) from
Metrix Create: Space. I prefer the PLA to the ABS as it warps less and smells much better. So I decided to order more PLA from UltiMachine. I ordered 5 lbs of Natural and 5 lbs of Blue Translucent. I also ordered some nichrome,
polyimide tape, and a few thermistors. (for spare parts...)
Here is my un-boxing...
SURPRISE!!! they sent a sample piece (about 14 feet of each) of black and silver PLA...
They packaged the nichrome,
polyimide tape, and thermistors very well in a inner envelope to protect them (complete with cardboard around the nichrome and thermistors). Overall I am very pleased so far. Now to start printing with my new plastic...
