    Damn. You must be flooded. Keep getting 500 errors from your server. If I do get in I am getting some :)

    Sweet, free shipping too.
    Great deal people.

    What's PET+ good for? What's its unique quality over PLA/PHA or Nylon?

    These are what I saw, PrintedSolid probably has more:

    • Flexible Strength
    • 100% Recyclable
    • FDA Approved for contact with foods
    • Easy Adhesion (No heated bed required. Sticks to blue painters tape)
    • Hydrophobic: Doesn't absorb water like nylon does
    • High qualify spooling and extrusion. Consistent diameter and no bubbles
    • More flame resistant than PLA and ABS

    that's about right. It's a PET similar to t-glase and XT.
    The PET+ in particular seems to be lower warp than clear material, but I've mostly printed vases and simple parts.

    Printed a test today, 255 extruder, bed at 50. Probably did not need to warm the bed.
    Warp-free, decent layering. Nice properties overall.

    I will need to fiddle with the temps a bit as it was slightly stringy laying down, but that was only cosmetic.

    Good deal on this excellent material.
