Fuel for a 3DP Farm???

[Kurt The 3D Printer GUY!!]

I thought this was a Very, VERY Creative way to sell filament to folks that have a 3D Printing Farm:

     FarmFuel Bulk Filament for 3D Print Farms | 3D-Fuel - Made In USA

Creative Right???

If I were printing a LOT - and had a farm of printers - I would Definitely Go For This Deal!!!

Where are they getting the time reduction numbers? 

I suppose the savings is decent, considering one spool of their PCTG is normally $34. Although you can still get it cheaper elsewhere.

In regard to - "time reduction numbers" - I am curious as to what you are referring to?

Is it THIS statement - "...reduce spool changeover time..."??

And - yeah - the Savings in buying a 10-pack is pretty decent on a per spool basis - about $10 cheaper - as you noted! Of course, if folks want to save EVEN More money on this 10-pack, I can give folks a Discount code!

Also - if folks even buy a Single spool - you can use a discount code I have. But, I first gotta find it...

Turns out - I have a NEW Code for folks to use - to get discounts on 3D Fuel Filament. 

This is an EASY Code to remember:   KURTWENDT

So - whether you buy One spool, or a Spool Sample ( Pro PCTG - 50g Sample Coils - 1.75mm | 3D-Fuel - Made In USA ) - or a 10-pack Farm Fuel purchase - feel free to use the code to get a Discount!!!

They have a specific page for it:

https://www.3dfuel.com/pages/farmfuel?_pos=2&_psq=farm&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Running 20–200+ printers?

• Spool changes aren’t minor. They’re:
• Labor time
• Workflow friction
• Packaging waste
• Operational drag

Traditional refill systems take ~12.5 minutes per 10 spools changed.
FarmFuel reduces that to ~2.5 minutes.

That 10-minute difference scales fast.

My only guess is they are comparing reusable spool changes to simply tossing a pre-rolled full spool into the machine. In that case it would make sense, but I've seen full spools of Fiberology PCTG for $17, which is half the price. 

[Kurt The 3D Printer GUY!!]

I'm curious. Is Fiberology PCTG actually US made filament?

[Bryan Eckert]

Fiberology is made in Poland

Well - that does indeed Explain the Cheaper price. It's Sad - that US producer have SUCH a Tough time trying to survive - because it's Hard for them to compete with other countries that can produce things Cheaper!!!

Sad but true...
