@bretwerder, exactly their shipping is another investment of its own. I have had a row with ultimaker on why they cannot give customers flexibility in shipping but they are so inflexible. I also cannot buy from them because the cost of shipping to Africa is just crazy. They should correct this. Not everybody likes DHL and FEDEX and the like. They are way more affordable shipping services out there.

     Does anyone know of any reliable (preferably with free shipping) resellers based in the U.S.?  I'm in California, so the closer to there, the better.  I'll start looking.

    I just went ahead and bought some Standard Black ColorFabb filament from ToyBuilder Labs in San Jose. They offer free shipping on items over $50 (the ColorFabb was $40, sadly), and the paid shipping ($3 for me) leaves their warehouse the same day. For those looking for a California supplier - this place seems to do the trick pretty well!

    PLA from 3D Universe

    36 hour print with no problems. The color varies a little bit through out the part. It is nice and opaque (which is what I like).
