Filament refill rolls

[vhowa...@gmail.com]

I heard in the last show I listened to that filaments.ca did not have the refills that were on the cardboard tube core anymore.

Well, that is the only way Banbu Lab is selling filament is on the cardboard tube cores. They will fit the same spool the old filaments.ca refills did. Bambu Lab also will sell you a spool, but there are also spools you can print out yourself. The Bambu Lab spool uses a 1/4 turn to lock or unlock. The prices are reasonable.

In much older episodes of the Podcast - Andy has indeed spoken about Spools that you can print - and they lock together.

I should Really check out these Banbu guys.

But - I'm glad to see you bring this up again. I was just thinking - if somehow we got Thousands of Hobby Level 3DP folks to sign a petitition and PUSH the Filament makers to STOP selling plastic Spools - maybe we can FINALLY Make a positive impact on this problem.

I say this, because MANY Years ago, the Maya 3D software was NOT available for Mac computers. Then, folks did a Big petition - and Autodesk gave in and produced a Mac version. So - Petitions CAN Indeed at times WORK!

Its just a thought...

Personally, I like the idea of cardboard refills!

Here in Florida, you can't even get a straw to drink with if it ain't paper!

And they're mumbling about banning plastic grocery bags (which should have been done many years ago).

It won't be long before plastic, in it's present forms, will give way to biodegradable plastics.

It's going to be a big mess until it's all sorted out...

Here where I live, they won't recycle anything that they can't truck to San Francisco and dump on a barge headed for China. So only plastics in the shape of a bottle, only corrugated cardboard and tin cans. They won't even take glass of any kind. So I look for things that are less intrusive on our environment. Even though I am printing things out of plastic.
