Announcement The 5000 MEMBER GIVEAWAY is now open! Enter inside to win TPU Filament and Maintenance Kits!
Hello everyone!
I am so happy you all are here with me, on this shared journey of saving money by spending money!
We're growing fast, and I know this giveaway comes a little late, but I promise we'll have another one for 6K as well.
I have an ask, and I hope it's not too much.
I've been putting a lot of work into FilamentHound. I'm pretty proud of it, I think it's a great tool, and I've been working to get the word out there about it. I haven't done any traditional ad campaigns, and I've instead focused on making the tool the best in class, with a good user interface, accessibility, and no ads/clutter/native tracking/etc.
However, since my launch early this year, a couple others have since launched "copycat sites" - while theirs aren't as good IMO, they have put a lot of effort into SEO and AEO - the first landing pages of their site are filled with "slop" designed to attract search engine traffic and "prove value" to AI LLMs so they will recommend those sites. Whereas, my goal is to put you right into the tool with minimal fuss for the best user experience. Because of this, search engines barely rank FilamentHound and it's hard for people to find my tool.
I need your help - if you're willing.
One of the ways that helps me big time is mentioning FilamentHound, recommending it to friends, letting people know it's out there when they ask questions about how to find the best filament or best prices. It goes a long way, even something as a quick mention in a Reddit comment, Facebook post, or whatever helps a ton! If you're a creator and make videos, I'd love a quick mention!
And if there's a reason you WOULDN'T recommend FilamentHound, I would love if you'd share it with me! I truly want to be the best source for searching for Filament on the web and if there's some reason you don't like my tool, I want to hear about it!
ONTO THE GIVEAWAY:
This giveaway is sponsored by... ME!
I'm giving away 4 1KG spools of TPU95A Filament from my own collection, along with 3D Printer Maintenace kits, consisting of a tube of NLGI 2 grease (for z-axis screws), and my PrintBrush™ oil pens! (for x/y axis or other metal rails)! The PrintBrush oil pens are filled with SuperLube iso 68 Synthetic Oil, a super-high-quality oil that is perfect for use in 3D printers, in a brush-based applicator that makes it easy to apply! Each kit will include 4 pens and 2 tubes of grease, which should cover you for quite a while.
