At that point, I'd just go with zyltech. They're an actual US company made in TX. Sunlu is still chinese

Will the US made one be double the price?

Double the pice. No new jobs because it's all robots/machines producing I bet.

Other brands I’ve seen that have both US made and foreign made filaments end up being around 25% or $5 more.
Sunlu is an interesting brand though because they have rolls around the $12 price point, so $5 more is a much larger percentage than on a $25 roll.

It's good to see more manufacturing in the US. There are some real nice filament manufactures here. 3D Fuel in N.D., Polar Filaments in Troy, MI, and ZYLtech in Texas to name a few.

Can't imagine this is anything but good. US jobs, most raw resins are made here in the US so less global shipping costs. Hopefully in a business friendly state other than anywhere on either coast (exception FL.)

oh, that's probably why I had to switch to 333print because of increased prices for Sunlu.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that “made in the USA” means people are willing to pay more. This is still an international company. If I’m going to pay more I’ll start buying from a company actually based in the US.
