The best thing is that you will get a natural color PLA filament of 100 meters or 300 gr along with this product when you unbox it. It helps you to start right away to work on your projects at the beginning. You might plan ahead to order more filament in advance at the time of placing an order for the device . So you need not wait till the filament arrives to complete your projects in case you exhaust with filament supplied by the manufacturer.
The extra filament will cost you around $20 for 600gm spool and the price is bit high compared to the filaments from other Vendors.
Each filament spool is fitted with a chip inside that is read by the device. The device will let you know how much filament is left so that you can refill it again. This feature is convenient to track the filament usage. The alert might not be accurate because it indicates as no filament even when there is much length of filament is still left in the spool.
Loading filament is a simple and automated task with Mini.
Please note, you might not able to pause the printing in middle. If you want to print your objects with different colors, it is best to let the print completed first. Then you can sand finish it with the paint colors of your choice later.
