    I have to stick with the asian suppliers. The european and worse american re-branders are insane. I mean there may be some that are actually special blends that have special properties. But for general use. Melted plastic of any vendor seems to work fine.

    If @Printed Solid doesn't carry it (in terms of special filament types) I am buying wherever is best price. With a few exceptions (where the filament diameters were out of spec) almost all of the cheap online vendors are selling you the same stuff. Peek (at present) is some of that special sauce sort of filament that I doubt we can source too many places. If it sells and performs well that may change. It certainly has some interesting properties.
