great product and service just shipping let's the company down

Great product and comms from the company, and quick to get the product to the shipping company and this is where is goes bad. The shipping company has no updates, no response from their online help, ordered on the 21st April and picked up on the same date, delivered on the 4th May. Aramex Australia is the worst freight company around.

Megabot spool fits Prusa

The Makerbot Large True Colour pla comes on a huge spool. I was worried it would not fit on the Prusa i3, but it does. It brushes against the crossbar, but turns just fine as the printer extrudes. You might want to print this filament spool holder though.

Tips from the 3D Printing Experts-

If you’re new to 3D printing, MakerBot PLA Filament is a good material to start with because it’s easy to use and performs well on most prints.

MakerBot PLA Filament adheres well to acrylic and to blue painter’s tape. Prints with a large bottom layer may have a tendency to curl.

To prevent curling, turn on the raft option in MakerBot Desktop.

Store MakerBot PLA Filament in a cool, dry place as it can absorb moisture from air and long-term exposure to humidity can compromise filament quality and performance.
   

Be sure your build plate is level, clean, and oil-free before printing.
