Hey guys,

Where do you guys get your ABS supplies from?

I bought some from Esunpla, we agreed on 10 colours of ABS 1 kg each. What I received was 7 colours of 1.5 kg ABS and 1 kg (i think) of PLA. Upon query, they told me they only had 1.5 spools and the remaining colours were not up to par. WTF? Has anybody else ordered from them, and what was your experience like?

Update:

Esunpla has apologised and I have accepted it. Will test out their filament and see if it gives good prints.

Its 3mm. It seems to be a little goopier than the Makerbot filament, even at 210. I am testing at lower temps.

I seem to get best results at 245 C. But the quality of the prints is almost, but still not as good as the Makerbot filament tho.

With the Makerbot filament I can get nice top surfaces with 2 layers. With Esunpla ABS, I need to use 3 layers for reliable results.
