I have sample pack of XT, PLA and the specials and really like Colourfabbs materials and their technical support.
I just wish they could provide a purchase length of say 10m, I would really love to get hold of the other colours in the PLA range, and the same with the WoodFill, BambooFill, CopperFill, BrassFill and BronzeFill (not sure on the XT-CF at the moment untill I get replacement nozzles). I would love to be able to offer these materials but investing in the cost of a complete spool of each is to costly, that’s where Faberdashery have an edge I can buy the amount I need.
Please, please start providing smaller length options of your full range.
If anybody else would like ColorFabb to supply by the meter etc. please add to this chat line, perhaps it could happen.

I just got some samples in 5m rather than 10m from globalfsd.com, they have colorfabb as well as other vendors. I was in same boat and wanted to test some others without getting a whole spool or whole set of sample packs. Although I do now have a spool of woodfill as it’s great fun to print with 
@ColorFabb could this be an option for you guys?
Hi Gabriela, this is just a link to the ColorFabb hub, I take it that is just for getting a print from this hub rather than being able to purchase small lengths say 10m of each of various ColorFabb filaments?
I have ordered some 5m sample lengths from Globalfsd but they only have a limited range of the PLA?PHA filaments, I would like to get my hands on the whole range in 5m or 10m lengths.
I have just tried the CopperFill and BambooFill samples i got from the London 3DHub’s ColorFabb Talk last tuesday night, really nice, although i want to clean my nozzle and try the flow test again for the CopperFill as it failed at 4mm3/s where Bronzefill failed at 7mm3/s both tests run at 210’C
Sounds like a plan then! It would be interesting to document these things and share them with the community here. There are probably many hubs struggling to find the exact settings, so this would definitely be of help.
I’m going to see if there is much variation with colours with the same manufacturer. I do like the quality of both ColorFabb and Faberdashery filament, I need to give my nozzel a good clean and rerun the CopperFill, as there was a large difference between BronzeFill and CopperFill, I’m also waiting for another small 5m length of WoodFill, to compaired with BambooFill. I did XT white today, will see what I can do in some spare time this week to build up a full set.
Im noting the maximum successful rate, running a new print at 5’C steps for the recomended range, although for actual printing non test pieces I print at a lesser rate, I usually run 0.4 nozzel, 0.1mm steps at 50mm/s .

Nice, you’ve got something there! Make sure to add some photos of the final results to the documentation process as well, for the community to use them as a point of reference. At 3dhubs.com/talk/colorfabb.
Maybe an idea for the next London meet up could be to bring unwanted sample filaments and swap/donate to each other. I have a few samples I no longer need as I got spools or ends of colours that might be useful to someone to test with? Plan to test the same pack from the London event this week as well to see how it works out
