Where are people buying filament here in the UK
-
Sadly I learn that 3DFilaprint have ceased trading.
For me, it's the end of a long standing relationship. They used to offer an excellent fast and efficient service, and stocked just about every filament type from every manufacturer. So I need to find another UK based supplier but search results show a myriad of options. Therefore I'd like to know if anyone on these forums has any recommendations (good or bad). -
@deckingman I use Ooznest if I need good quality filament, they also do samples which comes in very handy if I need lots of different colours for small prints or just want to try a different material.

Currently there are 3 companies I tend to use
- 3DQF. UK based filament producer with some absolutely beautiful PETG
- Eryone. Chinese high quality budget filament manufacturer which does nice silks, dual colour, and pretty much everything under the sun.
- Esun. Chinese filament manufacturer who also makes the filament for Bambulab (apparently). I particularly like their matt material colour range

@deckingman I've used eSun and Eryone for some things and generally been okay.
If you want UK based though, I'd recommend 3DPRINTZ based in Telford. They don't have so many specialty filaments, but I've always been impressed with their PLA and PETG -
I started with eSun but found that their PLA became brittle very quickly. I switched to Rigid Ink and was happy with them, including with their PETG, but then they stopped selling filament. Next I tried E3D Edge PETG until they stopped selling filament too. Then I bought Overture PETG from Ooznest until they stopped selling it. So most recently I have bought Overture PETG and Overture Easy Nylon via Amazon UK.
