I am interested in printing a thin, raised grid of fine lines onto a piece of acrylic (permanent adhesion). I would like the grid to have some texture to create a high-friction/non-skid surface. Is this possible with a flexible PLA or other elastoplastic? Thanks!
Hey there,
on the basis of the fact that Silicone is used to seal acrylic baths to walls and takes some shifting, I think it would be worth investigating the Discov3ry paste extruder aftermarket add-on for 3D printers. Take a squint at…

Nice one @Pot8oSH3D!
@hopper3ds any image or sketch you can share? I found this difficult to visualise
Hey,
I had some tests with filaflex. ( http://recreus.com/en/ 79 )
And i thing maybe that is what you are looking for.
I’t is flexible but also bit stiff

Thanks for the tips so far. Here is a sketch to illustrate (green represents the rubberlike grid, gray the acrylic). I want the two parts to be permanently fused. Normally, acrylic would slide around on any flat surface, but what I am curious to see is if a printed grid of a high-friction material would prevent slipping.
Got it! Indeed, as @notrix mentioned, something like Filaflex should do the trick
nylon can be added to a polymer and you can make your electrostatic and and also tpu
Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) 14 might be good
Or you can get a rubbery ABS plastic
