Hello,

do you know, by any chance, a filament provider that propose a better price than what I’ve found untill now :20€ for 1 Kg of white ABS (shipment not included). If you do, please talk to me about it (prices, quality, minimum qantity order,etc…)

Thank you for your info!

Filaprint have some deals on at the moment, 16euros for 1kg, from my experience their filament is pretty good.

You could also have a look on Alibaba if you’re considering buying a few at a time, you can find 1kg for as little as 8 euros.

Although it’s worth remembering that at those price you might find that the printing quality can be dissapointing.

Ps: Unless you need that extra strength I hightly recommend PLA

On my point of view, filament cost around 25€ / kg is sufficient. Lower prices will sometimes (not everytime) impact quality.

I want to be sure that the filament is not the cause of a bad print.

In fact, 25€/kg is not really an expensive price if you consider that a part uses very few material.

My consideration goes on material choices (colors, material type, … ).

If you consider lowering the spool prices, you should look at pellets and do your own filaments.
