Went there yesterday, they have seriously upped the 3d printing. Picked up a bambu 10" (think A1, p series $18.99) build plate, the only 2 cerial boxes they had left ($4.49), 1kg of black tpu ($20.99). Some build plate spray tack ($10.49), and several spools of pla ($14.99 each). It's crazy nice to be able to buy this stuff locally. |

I just printed with the tpu on my H2D. I set it as a generic tpu profile in bambu studio and the print came out great! I used the hobby lobby spray glue on my build plate first and it adhered fine and peeled off fine too. So far I'm happy with the hobby lobby supplies. I like the dessicant they carry a lot too, the beads are larger and don't make as much of a mess. |
| Ours has been keeping a bunch of stuff in stock lately. It went from one spool of material on any of a handful of colors to shelves packed and expanded shelf space. |

After reading this, I went to mine and had to ask if they had anything as I could not find it. The section was in the very far corner opposite the door, and they had one maybe 5ft long shelf with some spools of random no name, no brand, no print specs filament and a couple other random things. Prices were no better than name brand stuff online. Maybe things will improve after some time, but right now I will continue to order online. |
| My hobby lobby just replaced their Vallejo model paint display with a bunch of cheap, no name, Chinese airbrush paint that nobody asked for. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence about whatever resin and filament they might be stocking. Place seems like it's wanting to append-run to the bottom lately. |

I'll check again when I'm in the area, but I won't be making any special trips for what they have now. |

| Haven't checked in a couple months, but our local has filament and a couple generic tools. I bought a few spools of PLA, they all print well. |

When I can get AnyCubic, Sunlu, Kingroon, Elegoo, and eSun for less on Amazon or their respective websites, the only reason to go to Hobby Lobby is to get the basics in the next hour. |
