As I'm graduating college in a few weeks, I'll be losing access to my university's free printers and filament. I'm going to build up a home lab with a couple printers where I can make goofy little mechanical projects as well as some components for my cars and stuff.

Who's your go-to for PLA and ABS/ASA filaments? Those will be my primary print jobs in any serious volume. I know our college's club has had hella problems with random chinese brand filaments not printing consistently but I also don't want to spend $30+ per kg for something like Prusament.

I have been using tangledfilament.com for my PLA and it's been great. Their goal is to get to $10/kg for US manufactured filament and then expand to PETG.

    Oooh, tangled. Thanks for reminding me about them. Having all US produced product is a nice plus and if they can keep it that cheap domestically, I'd happily buy it for all my bulk printing that doesn't care about color. $15/kg is about as good as it gets these days.
