I'd like to get a kg spool of 0.3mm PLA from printbl, but the shipping is expensive for one, so anyone else interested in pooling a buy?

Maybe we can get some generous shipping terms for several? (or if you can wait I think Jon said he is going to LA in December).

I know Bill wants a spool, and Jon may want half a spool, any others? Maybe we can split some colors?

Thanks

Jim

I wonder if the order is large enough, would it be better to just go direct to Diamond Age?

In case there is still any interest.  Jordan sent it to me directly rather than to the list last night.

Jordan's email address is just first name at company name 

I may want some of their high impact and some "exotic" colors, if anyone did want to put together a group buy.  Right now I'm more interested in bulk 5+ lbs of ABS 

---------------

All US orders actually come through us, but if you guys would like to do some sort of group buy, we would be more than happy to entertain the idea, especially because we are currently working on our reorder...

Oh and btw, since they are in Southern California, I think we can always just to the Greyhound shipping which is suppose to be dirt cheap.  Provided they are willing and we are as well.

Any chance you're planning to carry 1.75mm filament anytime soon?  I only saw 3mm on your site.

monoprice uses norco. overnight shipping for 5$. filament is heavier, but i've had great service from them.

I am still planning to buy 1kg of white.


I know Jon wanted to share some other colors and so did Bill... The colors so far are...

white, diamond, black, saphire and banana

I'd share the colors, but I need a full Kg of white.

Ok they are out of Diamond and Saphire.

I am planning on getting an order of Black, Kiwi Green, Banana Yellow, Cherry and White.

The total price is $260.90

.. including shipping for $14.22.
.. including $16.68 taxes.

So the shipping costs have gone down and amortized over 5 spools is not unreasonable.

So who wants to share the Kiwi Green, Banana Yellow, and Cherry? as I really do not want too much of those colors.
(The Banans Yellow and Cherry combo were on sale).

I could also be persuaded to also share some Black and White.

Ok it is purchased I'll bring it next meeting if I get it by then, it may actually be the meeting after next as I doubt I'll get it by Wednesday.

Works out to $53.30/kg which includes tax and shipping.

We can divvy it up then.

Anyone is welcome to buy as much as they want, I guess I can sell it by weight.

I don't need the spools I prefer mine unspooled.

Looks like I will get the spools this Wednesday, so I'll bring them to the meeting.

Anyone wanting some 3mm PLA in various colors from Diamonage via printbl is welcome to get some.

$52.30 per 1Kg or fraction thereof.
Banana, Cherry, Black, Kiwi Green, White.

They won't get the other colors like diamond etc for several more months.
