I went onto the website to find out why their ABS 1.75 mm filament needs to get to 240C to print properly and found out that their mainstay business is not prospering, so they are retracting to a training and advice subscription service.
They quote that the rising price of raw high quality plastics is making their price/quality business model untenable. There again, to paraphrase Mandy Rice-Davies 'They would say that wouldn't they'.
Not selling filament means they don't need a warehouse, staff etc... Just a website and a telephone. No overheads and very little in the way of costs.
I am not that bothered as I have only had two reels of filament and a few samples from them, I must say that for £30 a Kg it was better than the £10 a Kg cack, off eBay, but there are plenty of suppliers who do good enough stuff for £20 a 1Kg reel.
Cheers,

Lee - this ain't a BUILD LOG, can you put it in the right place please !
