Beyond ABS and PLA

Hi All,

I’m planing on doing a event with the subject “Beyond ABS and PLA”, do you guys have any ideas on “special filament” and perhaps interesting uses of it.

Thanks!

I have been using the new colorfabb bronze filament with some success it pretty crazy also theres a lot of news out there every week with new experimental filaments. Madesolid just released a super strength resin filament and also @ColorFabb release their food safe filament alongside their wood filament. So lots to talk about.

Ninja flex, and Fila Flex (Recreus I think) are very cool flexible filaments. Have you considered chocolate?

Chocolate !!!

That’s a topic of its one…

I bought a set of samples from @ColorFabb, right now I don’t have time, but I’m really courious about that bronze filament. I guess that the trick is on the sanding and polishing…

I will check out that Madesolid.

Hi Fenix999

I am using some other filament like LayWood, LayBrick and Nylon now and again but I must say it’s PLA and ABS 95% of the time probably.

When I have some more time available I will do some more testing on for example PET.

Maybe this Talk is of interest to you?

I have ordered a Solidator that prints with raisin but it hasn’t arrived yet unfortunately !

Kind regards, Guy

A guy from Buenos Aires made a flexible filament called CheFlex. Do you want me to ask him to send you some samples ? So you can test it and make some feedback here about it

Fenix999 · 2014-08-13T12:31:20.000Z

That would be Great…

I’m always keen on trying out some new stuff.

@GuyJanssen Thanks for your feedback.

I’m curious to see those raisin prints…

Check us out at Proto-pasta.com for Carbon Fiber Reinforced PLA and PC-ABS. Incremental improvements over standard PLA and ABS with ease of processability. CFPLA is more stiff than PLA alone and PC-ABS is more strong, tough, and stiff than ABS. Stay tuned for more exciting releases in the next months
