eh I'll allow it -- he has a few other real posts. And, it's a pretty comprehensive list from several sample vendors, nothing outright spammy.

Re: Non-warping, no smell, PET filament
Yes, I think he's well-meaning, but clearly hasn't been following the (many) discussions on PETg. And there's a bit of misinformation---PETg, PET, and PET+ are similar plastics, but they are not the same (and soda bottles are made from PET, not PETg or PET+). And "no shrinking or warping" is simply not true; it's certainly a lot better than ABS, but to claim that it doesn't shrink at all would be false advertising.insta wrote:eh I'll allow it -- he has a few other real posts.
