Anyone using 3mm filament for 3D printing?  I accidently bought a roll of 3mm black Hatchbox PLA filament back in April and just discovered my mistake.  I paid 21.99 on Amazon.  I would like to re-coop some of my cost.  I would take $15.  contact christopher(dot)hettinger(at)gmail.  

Secondly, what brand filaments do you use and where do you get it?  I see a nice variety pack on Amazon for $119 made by AIO Robotics.  It comes with 12 1 pound rolls of different colors. Anyone used them before?  

Thanks,
Chris Hettinger

PLA in particular will absorb moisture from the air.  There are ways of drying it out without melting or deforming it.  Or are you saying you meant to get 1.75mm?

I use Inland - I get it from MicroCenter, either in store or via their Amazon store.  Just got a roll today of "peak green" PLA printing really well at 228* / 70*.
