      Printables “Currency” You get some for doing stuff like submitting models and makes. 350 meters buys you a spool of Prusament, 200 a free t-shirt

        They really nailed the “game-design” and community aspects of their website to give the insentive to publish to Printables rather than competitors. I find myself very excited to unlock badges and collect Prusameters !

          got myself a free spool a while back! unfortunately shipping cost as much as a kilo from amazon lol

          It was good filament, but honestly not enough to make me buy it over others

        I just went to check how many I have since I need a new spool of Prusa Orange PETG for printing printer parts.

        I have 15 Prusameters. 💸

        If you’re not in Europe, it often ends up costing the same as just buying filament since you have to pay for shipping.

    As a US citizen I hate just how much better Prusament prints than anything else. It’s not even close. So expensive though for shipping and overall, so I use it for my top shelf stuff.

      I’ve had a few spools. I’ve found inland from micro center to be really good filament. I haven’t noticed much difference between the two. Also, there are some top tier filament manufacturers in the US. Pricey stuff but no more than prusa and shipping is free to low.
