First off you have a great Forum with plenty advice and a friendly atmosphere.
First off I hope this is okay to introduce myself, not a sales pitch as that is not what this is about, More a hello we are coming soon type of deal.
This is a first for me as this is the first place for us to announce that we are going to be one of the few Filament Manufactures in the UK and more than likely the newest Our Company is Called 3DQF (3D Quality Filaments) and we are going to be producing filament here in the UK Direct to you guys. Our aim is to provide High quality filaments at a realistic price bracket, Direct to the end user.
I little History
My father has worked in the plastic industry all his life, mainly reclamation but also with the prime producers. He has an invaluable understanding of plastics and how and what we can do to change and modify the properties to give you all a better end result. I have spent the past 13 year working in the radio control retail sector and have seen massive changes in how we now interact with our customer base, also the demand that is put on retailers. We are looking to try something a little different, Manufactures direct to the end user, this will reduce the cost significantly and put us inline with the cheaper Chinese filament that is flooding our shore. We are determined to have a "Made in the UK" stamp on a high quality product that can more than compete with product from outside the EU and at a similar price.
This whole idea all started around a year ago now where I was talking with my father about 3D printers and the material that they uses, from this conversation everything snowballed and we are where we are today :-). Currently we have procured our industrial unit (Northwest of England Leigh Manchester) in the middle of December and have been moving in our machinery. We have the electricians turning up in the next week or so, and more machinery in the order books which is 4-5 weeks out. It's a very nervous time and exciting all at the same time so any words of encouragement are greatly received :-).
Needless to say as with everything that new we will need to test our products and we will be more than happy if some off you would be happy to try our (FREE OF CHARGE) filament for your feedback.
Once again thank you for taking the time to read this :-) I hope it was not too long and if anyone has an new ideas or can see anything that need more development please feel free to make a suggestion.
Many thanks ROB @ 3DQF
