The pellets mentioned above unless something has changed are EXACTLY the same product as the NP brand and the NPX brand I started. All the product comes from the exact same factory/company and there is nothing proprietary about any of the brands other than the packaging "full stop". The company that produces the plastics actually holds all the patents on the process and finished product. Some brands do use PCL (Polycaprolactone) plastics and are sub standard compared to the PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate) plastics associated with the brands listed below.

If people are looking for a quality brand I wold suggest to buy any of the following;

Vertex
NP
NPX while available.

It basically comes down to price for volume of product. I am not actively marketing the NPX brand anymore as I don't have the time and the market is flooded with many knock offs and similar/same product. I do have lots left and I do have it available in bulk for those looking for a killer deal.

Hope this clears up any confusion.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

This is not a forum for vendor advertising Steve. You have a forum
For that.

Thank you.
