I've requested a price quote for ABS natural. I'll forward the quote to the
list when I receive it. I've also asked about shipping prices to Canada.

cool. i decided that with forrests recent successes with it, that i'd
just go ahead and order some... i got 25lbs of it if anyone is
interested. a bonus is that they are a small, family owned shop so
we'll be dealing with real people. the lady was quite friendly on the
phone.

The slush fund is flush, if you want to buy some and distribute it.
We'll have a Kg, if we can. Let me know all costs (inc distribution
postage) and I'll Paypal it to you.

Great! 1/8" is 3.175 mm. Undersized works, but anyone know if that'll
fit down a 3mm extruder heater?

goes on inside, though.

As that's a cheaper and more common plastic, in some ways that's more
important.

Sounds like a job for a long-series 1/8" drill. Excellent. :-)
