Eager to build but missing the PTFE filament

[kerne]

I happily received my kit a few weeks ago and was very much looking forward to assembling it, until I saw that the PTFE filament was missing.

I've emailed support and Justine and gotten no response yet. Can anyone here point me to a source for the correct size filament so I can get to work on this awesome project?

I ordered a 10' length of 1.75mm PTFE rod from McMaster-Carr as mentioned in the "Missing Parts" thread. If anyone else needs a piece I'd be happy to send it to you.

Update...I should have measured the governor weights...the correct size for the filament is actually 1.4mm or 0.055". I've ordered a piece of the correct size.

I was just looking over my kit while thinking about starting the build, and I noticed I'm missing it too. Anybody know a decent substitute? I figure it might be easier to find a substitute.
