Nope, not quite. SLS also has more strength in X-Y than Z. It has much much lower strain to failure in Z also. MJF on the other hand is basically isotropic, and pretty much 100% dense. Although it does have a bit less strain to failure in Z than in X-Y. Both processes basically use the same nylon powder, with about the same grain size, but MJF uses an additional fusing agent that I believe is giving it the same properties in Z as in X and Y.

this explains everything quite clearly.

Received today. Could this be further evidence that they've survived the storm?

They survived just fine, as Horizon owns them now but didn’t eat the debt. A few of the previously exclusive like Futaba are gone. I think Estes and Cox as well as a couple others. But as a whole it survived- basically selling exactly the same stuff as Horizon

Good point.
They're not truly a Horizon competitor any longer. So, as a result of the bankruptcy and ultimate buyout, there is less competition overall.
But maybe a few TH employees will keep their jobs. Glass half full.

Hi RJ,
Bunnings have them,
You pay, $200 for the bottle, a size D which you then own, and $99 for the gas.
When the gas runs out it is then just $99 for the refill/exchange bottle.
It doesn't matter how many years you have the bottle, still $99 exchange.

I haven't been able to find anyone cheaper and plus Bunnings is open everyday, so if you run out of gas on a Sunday they are open!
Plus Bunnings are all over Adelaide so if one branch is out of stock, another should have a stock.
