			<description><![CDATA[One of the most irritating aspects of running a print especially those longer prints.  This frustration can be worse if you don't have a particular filament to replace it with to keep the print moving.  <br />
<br />
What is your response?  Do you run a spool of filament dry before changing it out?  Do you keep more than one of each type?  How do you address this when you are printing?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There are different filament types out there and it can be daunting trying to figure out what type of filament to use for what project.  For instance, do I need the strength of PETG because I'm making a fidget toy with a moveable piece?  Will PLA suffice since the vase is strictly decorative?  Do I want PETG for this vase because of the translucence tendencies?  Do I want to make a pair of Crocs that need a bit of flex so I will need TPU?<br />
<br />
Waylinl posted this article on some suggestions for which filament to use with each filament type - <a href="https://qidi3d.com/blogs/news/3d-printer-filament-types-complete-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://qidi3d.com/blogs/news/3d-printer...lete-guide</a><br />

What types of filament do you prefer to use and why?  Is the above article accurate for your personal uses?]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Favorite Filament Brand?]]></title>

			<description><![CDATA[There are so many brands of filament out there that all have something to offer.  Between different types of filament, colors, spool sizes, spool types, etc., I want to know your favorite brands and why you choose those brands.<br />
<br />
I'll start - I love the Bambu filaments.  The RFID tag that auto selects settings is super handy.  I enjoy their bulk pricing and their color choices.  I also enjoy Creality brand filament for its cheap, single purchase capabilities.  Flashforge also seems to have consistent quality and some pretty cool colors.  <br />
<br />
What about you?]]></description>
