RoBo Filament has arrived!

I've received the three spools of filament I ordered from team RoBo.

I've only taken a couple quick pictures of them so far, and haven't removed the spools from their sealed plastic bags. I'm waiting for the AC in my apartment to lower the humidity some more so I can pull out the calipers, take some measurements, and then seal 'em back up with my vacuum sealer to sit until my printer gets here.

I figured I'd share these pics, and then I'll post some followups here once I start looking at the filament itself and take some measurements of it. (I'll also use the DSLR for those pics, and not my cell phone. =P)

Three spools: Blue PLA, and Black in PLA and ABS.


I put a quarter over the hole in the spool of the black PLA for scale.


Blue PLA:


and last but not least, black ABS:

 

Here's a shot of the blue pla strand:



The quality is obviously high. There are no visual abnormalities to the strand, as one would expect from a commercially produced filament.

I did some spot measurements along the first several feet and they were consistently between 1.73mm and 1.79mm. With some fudge coming from how the filament wants to curl (so that can push the measurement depending on which angle to the curl the calipers were measuring) I'd have to say that the ROBO team picked a good supplier, and will be a quality source.
