Good News and Bad News

I've some good news and some bad news....

the good news is:
My new threaded rods to upgrade my Repman arrived.
(And some 15mm aluminum pipes to replace the heavy
steel-pipes in my shoulder-rig.)

The bad news:
My long awaited ABS from china also arrived.
The surface is marred, it's brittle and there
are 0.5mm air bubbles inside the filament.
I have no hope that one can use this for 3d printing at all.
And I got the minimum of 20Kg of this junk.

The company is:


Qingdao TSD Plastic Co.,Ltd.

I found a wiki-page about this to compare noted on different companies.

    Is there anybody who had luck with any of the chinese factories?

    I have 50kg of filaments from China, also I got from India too, and those were also unusable.

    So Im really curious if any of us got luck with China. Because I heard only bad experiences...

  2. What companies did you try?

    The white ABS I have here (20Kg) is from a group-purchase made in Switzerland 2 years ago and it printing fine.

    I did the same. I ordered with group-purchase, also through Switzerland.
    But the cross-section of the filament was horrible.
    (but was air-bubble free, and there was no contamination, so
    maybe I could print it for some low-res object. I already printed 2kg of it.
    But I will never ever buy in larger quantities without trying it first. And never ever from China.)
