      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.
