Our current preferred supplier of good PLA is Montreal based [http://voxelfactory.com/ Voxelfactory], their PLA is reasonably priced and ships fast.

Had some issues with brittle filament from Voxelfactory.
 
Norm recommended [http://www.repraper.com/ repraper.com].
 
Rob found a Toronto wholesaler [http://www.dynamishobbies.com/ DynamisHobbies.com] who left a sample spool of 1.75mm at the lab.


All PLA is hygroscopic (water absorbing) and exposure to moisture over time degrades the material. We have a (mostly) airtight latching storage bin with desiccant (CaCl[sub]2[/sub]) to reduce moisture internally. Store PLA inside this bin, keep it closed and open it only when needed.

NB: ABS and other mystery inventory is stored in this bin as well!
