Hey everyone! I want to introduce you to FilamentHound, a site I designed to make filament shopping easier and less infuriating!
Happy friday, y'all!
So, I just wanted to take a second to introduce the site I've been working on for the past few months called FilamentHound.
FilamentHound is designed to "sniff out" the best deals on filament, but it's even more than that.
I've been personally very frustrated trying to search for filaments on Amazon. Sometimes when you search for things, they either don't show up, or Amazon shows you different results than you want, or hides particular manufacturers, etc... (For example, I have been buying some Inland filament lately and randomly it just decides to not show up when you search "Inland PLA" on Amazon! Why????)
FilamentHound bypasses all of the algorithms and sponsored search results and simply gets you to the filament you want. Looking for Blue Silk PLA? A couple quick clicks of the filters (or type "blue silk PLA" in the search box), and you see all the Blue Silk PLA available on Amazon. By default, it sorts by price per kilogram, showing you the most cost effective filaments first.
At this point I'm at well over 18k filaments digested from the US Amazon store and growing. I am hoping to launch Canada this week. I could definitely use some volunteers to check that out!
The goals of the site are to be the easiest to use, the most comprehensive, and the most accessibility-friendly. There's no login or tracking, and the site is completely free to use and always will be. In the future, I'm hoping to include more manufacturer stores, to become the "single pane of glass" filament shopping experience everyone is looking for!
I would sincerely appreciate any feedback. You can either comment, or send me a chat.
Thank you, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
