At Amolen, we take pride in supporting makers, businesses, and 3D artists in bringing their creative visions to life. Today, we are excited to feature one of our valued wholesale clients, Rachel Knox, co-founder of Altered Matter. Rachel and her husband, Joey, have built a thriving 3D printing business, crafting intricate and artistic prints that captivate customers.
Meet Rachel Knox and Altered Matter
Discovering Amolen
Rachel first came across Amolen through fellow 3D printing enthusiasts on Discord. Drawn to our top-quality multicolor filaments, she and Joey quickly became loyal Amolen users.
Since the early days of their business, they have relied on Amolen to bring their prints to life—starting with one of their first product launches using our Glow-in-the-Dark Rainbow filament.
Why Amolen?
As their business grew, Rachel and Joey realized the need for bulk filament purchases to meet the demand for their products. Amolen’s wholesale program provided them with the high-quality filament they needed in a wide range of multi-colors. This summer, they launched their popular Gear Ball, featuring Amolen's Silk Triple colors, which quickly became a best-seller. With the ability to maintain a steady supply of filament, they have been able to keep up with customer demand without worrying about stock shortages or inconsistencies.
Rachel highlights several key benefits of using Amolen filaments:
Consistency: Amolen filament stands out for its consistent quality. We never encounter issues with clogging or breakage from spool to spool, which saves us a lot of time and frustration. In contrast, other brands have given us bad batches, leading to time-consuming tasks like unclogging or drying out freshly opened spools. Amolen’s reliability has made our 3D printing projects much smoother and more enjoyable.
She also mentions that bulk purchasing ensures they never run out of stock during busy seasons, providing reliability, while the unique multicolor combinations offer creative possibilities, allowing them to produce visually stunning prints that stand out in the market.
Favorite Filament & Standout Projects
Among the many Amolen filaments they’ve used, Rachel’s favorite is the PLA Silk Triple Silk- Red, Yellow Blue. It brings their articulated frog model to life with a stunning, vibrant finish. She appreciates how Amolen filaments enhance the aesthetic appeal of their prints while maintaining excellent printability.
Advice for Fellow 3D Printing Enthusiasts
Rachel encourages makers to embrace the learning process of 3D printing:
"My advice would be to find something you enjoy printing, choose a filament that excites you, and don’t be afraid to try again if it doesn’t come out perfectly. 3D printing requires some learning and patience, but seeing your finished product can bring immense joy to you or others. Most importantly, don’t forget to have fun throughout the process!"
Rachel highly recommends Amolen’s to other 3D printing businesses.
"I would recommend Amolen’s wholesale program to others in 3D printing, especially if your business has the demand and you’re looking for unique filament colors. Amolen offers a great selection of superior-quality filaments at competitive prices, which can help you stand out in the market. Plus, having access to the best choice of multi-colors can inspire creativity and innovation in your projects."
