This does make me wonder though, why is PLA sold in such large rolls? For the small things I plan to print a single large drum is a lifetime supply. I would have rather bought a selection pack of different colours in shorter lengths. My current print is going to use 2g of material and takes ~4 hours :-0
Like colour makes difference to me? I'll be painting everything I make anyway. My printer shipped with a small roll of white PLA. It seems to work great, but because it's white and slightly translucent it can be a bit hard to see, so I bought a giant drum of red PLA instead. It's slightly easier to evaluate the prints.
