Hi Community,

@Brian asked me to tell something about the #POROLAY series.

POROLAY is totally different to homogene (100%) materials as flex PLA or other flexibles.

After printing your object in the same way you do it with other stiff filaments you rinse your object for 1-3 days in water.

But please read here some extracts, and open later the attached *.pdf to find all informations at the momentually available 4 different Filaments.

POROLAY is a series of experimental filaments, printable with standard printers at a temperature of about 220 - 240°C.

It´s a kind of meta-material with different properties at different stages:

  1. in it´s delivery form, it´s hard and easy to print
  2. after rinsing in water, remaining in water it´s very soft and gelly-like, print sponges with,
  3. dryed it´s visco-elastic, depending on quality of rinsing, it will be soft, leather like, or similar as cardbord or heavy paper, depending on which POROLAY you are using.

now please read the pdf.

If you find new applications for Porolay, please publish your results here :wink:

Please be clement with me, I cannot (less time) give further rapid support. It´s an experimental filament for science and makers.

all the best from cologne,

Kai
