    $20 PLA filament : Industrial Plastics

    This may have been mentioned already in another post? Industrial Plastics and Paint is clearing out their Ottertek PLA. $20 for a 1kg roll. So if you have an IPP store local to you, it might be worth a visit. I've been using it for a couple of weeks and it's printed perfectly in my Bambu A1...

    Bambu A1 3D Printer

    https://www.usedvictoria.com/stationary-tools/39838943 Price seems a bit high IMO considering the condition shown, but might be worth a look and an offer if you are looking for a 10x24 lathe. Nameplate says Model 200, but it seems to have been modified to eliminate the back motor support leg...
