Looking for some PLA filament in NZ, anyone got any recommendations? I know Diamond age has probably the best filaments locally, but their filament price is a bit pricey.
Want to know if anyone else has success with other filaments, that don't jam the hotend and warp like the cheap stuff.

Sorry, Vik Olliver (Diamond age) is who I used to buy it from if I couldn't be bothered waiting for an overseas purchase.

I'm new to 3D printing, and have only been printing with PLA imported from China, so don't have any basis for comparison.

I'd be interested to try Diamond Age to see how much better (and presumably more expensive) it is... can you give me a link?

I notice that there's a guy on TradeMe selling PLA at similar prices to China.

Jaycar also has PLA on their web store.

Im too scared to try Trademe ones, and I heard the Jaycar ones are not good, causes jams.

What printer do you have and where do you get your imported PLA?
