At $2.99 they hang around for a while - slow sell.
At $1.99 they move quicker.
Have a great day.
If there were a supplier that offered $2 return off next purchase I’d happily use it.
(I have 9 machines running 24/7 and go thru a lot of filament)
Good solution would be to use them again for the reason they where created I think. This means no resources are needed. Many people forget that recycling is a process that needs resources. What would you think if you new that your spools are being recycled using electricity power produced by coals?
Return programs set up by the producers of filament would also be a good solution.
I am building my own filament extruder and keep my spools to make new ones with the 10kg pellets I have here.
of course if filament extruders would be available to anyone, then even shipping back empty spools would not be needed anymore as everybody could reuse their own empty spools!
You’re right about the forum format. It is very hard to follow and also because the email alerts won’t put at the right position in the posts (they are not anchored).
Having a centralized “hub” for all (call it the way you want) seems a bit difficult for all brands.
It could perhaps be easier per spool style. Think about the colorFabb ones that are completely different than simple polycarbonate ones that are also completely different than Cube X cartridges.
Because I also sell colorFabb filament in Switzerland, I am really interested to find a solution for my customers. However, I am not interested at all to find a solutions for other brands which would give me a lot of work!
@GloomySparker@Pot8oSH3D totally agree on the readability issue. We’re aiming to tackle this in the next sprint so please hang in there a little longer
Hi Scott, I think it’s better to have this discussion here, where more brains all over the world can contribute to a better, ever evolving model.
I think GLocal: Global sharing of ideas, recipes and documentation that can be produced and distributed on demand Locally
Local hubs that will take initiative and provide quality service are still marginal, most users just want to order local and have extras. Local competition is healthy for quality and price to users, the more reliable and affordable the more people will buy 3D printers or use Hub services
