RE: Rigid.Ink quitting fillament market

Very unfortunate.  I will have to find another cleaning filament.  It is simply the best.  

RE: Rigid.Ink quitting fillament market

Do what I have done, buy some whilst you can, it doesn't go off.

RE: Rigid.Ink quitting fillament market

We literally cost 10€ less per spool with our premium inhouse Prusament. That more then covers any cost of shipping, try pricing it on the shop. We worked very hard to get affordable shipping options last couple months.

RE: Rigid.Ink quitting fillament market

Thanks for letting us know about reduced shipping prices, will take a look now.

Sorry for my reply Josef, but...

Oh, you use Hermes or Herpes as we call it here, sorry no thanks, I actually want my items to arrive in good condition. These clowns have a habit of throwing parcels over the wall or fence and not even bothering to let you know.

And as for Dropped Parcel Deliveries!.

Do you have any plans for distributing in the UK through Amazon?, I have prime membership and use their lockers where at all possible, I have to say, I find their delivery structure works better in the UK than any other company, and on many occasions will pay a little more for a product if it is deliverable by Amazon rather than some of the other supposed delivery companies we have here.

The problem is that a lot of the deliveries are during the day when people are at work, so you end up having to drive sometimes significant distances and time to collect your parcel, this often costs more than the little bit extra ordering from Amazon where it can be conveniently put into a delivery locker of your choice, where you can conveniently collect the parcel.

Is it that much more cost to sell through Amazon?, as end consumers we don't know these things and wonder why we can't buy Prusament through Amazon, in the UK.

Thanks

Kind regards Andrzej.

This is what I mean about Hermes, I know it's not a PRUSA delivery, but this is how they look after things.

There is a 2.45m drop onto concrete on the other side of that fence, and they just throw things over the fence. This is a bottle of semi liquid grease which I hope has been packaged well, I will find out when I get home. 😕

And every bit as good as Rigid.Ink - I know a lot of people liked Rigid Ink, but I stopped buying from them after they started pushing me to review them on a site other than the one I had bought on - a practice others don't use. Also found them spammy, which I have never found from Prusa, Colorfabb or any of the other filament manufacturers I have bought from.

I have to concur about the spam thing.  Major turnoff.  

Does anyone know of another good cleaning filament?

I've been using Smartfil cleaining filament from Spain. Its not expensive but it is good enough. Does take a bit to clean out high temp filaments like PC and nylon but it works

I’ll have to try it.  So far,  there brands from England and Germany are by far better than eSun or US brands.   

RE: Rigid.Ink quitting fillament market

Maybe time PRUSA looked at making a cleaning filament of their own, although I doubt they have time with everything else they have got going on at the moment.

Good point

RE: Rigid.Ink quitting fillament market

Rigid.ink's stuff has the interesting property (for filament) of absorbing moisture yet still remaining strong. I was annoyed about the moisture until I realized the foaming and steam is actually beneficial for cleaning. CNC Kitchen has commented on the same thing. eSun doesn't absorb as much moisture, but it seems to work better for cold pulls, not snapping off as readily during the pull. I keep both around.

@bobstro

CNC kitchen is where I heard of the stuff.  I bought three bags so I have some for awhile.
