Lionel, Yes, the buy will still be going ahead. Do you want the 5x 3mm Silver PLA as a single spool or 5 coils?
John, I've put you down for White, Black, Purple, Kawasaki Lime. All 3mm PLA.

I'll get a couple of rolls if you're going ahead with this. Does the 8 roll box have to be the same colour? I'll take a one roll of transparent, one red, and one black if that's doable.

The order will be going ahead if all 8 rolls sell as I think testing this

any colour and PLA or ABS. I need to sell anoter 4 rolls to go ahead

Just to confuse things I started using my budaschnozzle and tried my bad
filament again and am having success. Maybe my probs were to do with heat
travelling up to the cold end and swelling the filament and causing a jam.
I don't think I can recommend makergear hotends anymore.
Jimmy do you need anymore takers on the esun stuff?

PLA has arrived. Did a quick count (quantity) and it looks right. I haven't
had the time to tally it against individual orders yet. I'll bring them to
the space tonight.
If you're not there (or can't be there), email me off list to arrange
something.
