Filaments

[krisrok]

First of all hi and thanks for all your work on this project! I'm still in preparation and as I need to order filament anyway I find it hard to choose a supplier.

I wonder which ones you've already tried and what your results were (maybe even with pictures)?

In the existing wiki page it's kind of vague right now. Ok, the Basics PLA seems to work best but...

• What specific brands did not work? For what reasons?
• Have you tried PETG, ABS or even more exotic materials?
• What about "natural" PLA? Is this transparent enough?
• And kind of related: What about post-processing the prints? Clear coating, smoothing, sanding...?

Of course this targets @Sakati84 first and foremost but I guess we need a place to document our findings. Maybe we can collect some data here and then move the important bits into the wiki?

Janbex didn´t work for me. I couldn´t get it to print ok without coloring either..
I think natural PLA would work great. It doesn´t need to be very transparent. It should be a little "milky" for best results.
