It takes a while to get to know all the quirks of your 3D printer and filament well. We thought we’d add to the knowledge base and share what we’ve learned about using the eSun 1.75mm PLA filament in Glass Watermelon Red on our Kossel Pro delta style 3D printer.

Today we have two superstars – the Kossel Pro 3D Printer and the SketchBoard. Both are relatively new add-ons to the Solarbotics website.

Initially created as a Kickstarter project and designed around the OpenBeam aluminum extrusion system, Kossel Pro is now available for purchase. It comes with a spool of 1.75mm PLA filament (random color) and a laser cut spool holder, as well as free shipping to Canada & the US. Scroll below to see some of the new specialty filament too.

The Solarbotics Sketchboard is a open-and-use device just like the Arduino Uno, but manufactured by Solarbotics and incorporating the additional features of the Freeduino.

	The Solarbotics SketchBoard $22.00 A fully assembled surface mount Arduino-compatible.
	Kossel Pro 3D Printer Kit with HBP $1750.00 Fast assembly, automated z-leveling, heated bed platform and full metal hot end are just a few of the things that make the Kossel Pro one of our favorites!
	1.75mm Thermochromic PLA Filament Grey To Natural – 0.5kg $36.00 1.75mm 0.5kg spool of thermochromic PLA changing from grey to natural/off white as temperatures rise and fall.
	eSun 1.75mm PLA filament – Luminous Blue – 1kg Spool $36.00 1.75mm PLA filament for 3D printing. PLA is an excellent general purpose filament with a great finish, very rigid and biodegradable. Oh, and it also glows in the dark!
	1.75mm Thermochromic PLA Filament Blue To Natural – 0.5kg $36.00 1.75mm 0.5kg spool of thermochromic PLA changing from blue to natural/off white as temperatures rise and fall.
	eSun 1.75mm Flexible PLA Filament – White – 1kg $36.00 1.75mm 1kg spool of soft, flexible white PLA filament.
	eSun 1.75mm Wood Infused PLA Filament – 0.5kg $36.00 1.75mm 0.5kg spool of wood infused PLA filament that smells like a campfire when printing.
	eSun 1.75mm Bronze PLA Filament – 0.5kg $30.00 1.75mm 0.5kg spool of bronze powder infused PLA filament, not recommended for nozzle sizes under 0.3mm.
