Recommendations for PLA supplier

I’m intending to by a reel of black pla to use with the Ultimaker.

Any recommendations for a supplier?

We have a 5% discount with Global FSD

@laurent_muchacho is the expert here.

I like Faberdashery, but they’re not cheap

ColorFab is good via RoboSavvy for example.

The 5% discount also apply to filament at http://shop.3dfilaprint.com/ I’ve edited the orginal post containing the discount to list the 3dfilaprint one too :slight_smile:

For entry level filament there repraper filament is good but only list 3mm
http://shop.3dfilaprint.com/reprapper-tech-ltd-pla-3mm-105-c.asp

The premium is listed as 2.85 and the cheaper good quality

Higher quality to premium filament
https://rigid.ink Really good quality UK made and resonably price
http://www.faberdashery.co.uk/ Same here good quality UK made a bit more expensive

At your own risk
ColorFab I was highly deceived by the quality of their filament and many other have reported the same yes they have some great colour but filament tolerance of the PLA-PHA is a hit or miss that said the price from robosavvy.com is highly attractive

NOTE: IMPORTANT independently of the filament you buy make sure to store it in a sealed bag with desiccant as described in induction
