[TriLUG] OT: 3D Printer Filament

[Brian via TriLUG]

Mass-produced filament is kept in such inhumane conditions!  I hear they 
keep it in hot, arid, dark, airless environments!

Nah, I don't care where it came from.  lowes.com doesn't seem to think 
any of the local stores carry filament on the shelves.  Do you know a 
specific Lowe's that does typically have it in-store?  I'm not in a 
pinch now, but it'd be good to know if I do wind up in a pinch.

Re: weedeater line: You're not the only one to think of it, and 
apparently it's doable:

I'm not gonna do that on my fairly-new TAZ 4 just yet...
