Since you seem to know a lot about different filaments maybe you could answer my question, I am trying to have a wallet printed, pictured above, I have tried NinjaFlex and Tualman Nylon. I think the Ninjaflex is to soft and the nylon is good because the thicker areas don’t bend as easy. What would be a good filament to try?

Taulman PCPTE Nylon is pretty cool stuff. Print really easy for a nylon, and is indestructible, with a good flexibility. Good for impact resistant parts.

This might sound weird but I noticed the wallet you made has a KSU ID in it. I go to KSU as well and was wondering how you have been doing you prints. I bought a da vinci 2.0 dual extruding printer but yours look like higher quality than mine. Are you able to utilize the Marietta campus printer or do you have your own as well?

Please tell me your experience with protopasta CF, I want make the jump and mod my printrbot with UBIS + steel tips + heated bed and start doing more useful things.
Are the printings actually stiffer, is there any difference in weight?
Does it prints nice with the bed off?
Is a 0.4 mm tip a bad idea for it?

We make our own filament and we have yet to have anyone test our copper flexible, superconductive PLA, conductive ABS, fire resistant ABS, UV sensitive color changing PLA, and heat sensitive color changing PLA, polycarbonate is another one that is fun as well. Was going to start searching for testers in a separate thread but you might be one we could send some test material to. Chris

Sign us up! We have a ton of customers ask us for unique materials for their prototypes, or artistic projects to be printed in.
Hi Cbrown35,
In 30 seconds :
- Extrudr Multicolor (hand made!) PLA filament
- Extrudr Fichte / Flax (really compostable filaments! PLA is only biodegradeable industrially)
- BnK Purement : antimicrobial filament
- Kai Parthy REFLECT-o-LAY filament. Check out the others too. (not available yet)
- Adam Beane sculpteable filament (not available yet)
- Black Magic 3D Conductive Graphene
- TreeD Monumental : looks like marble.
- …
Take a look at www.Filaments.directory. You will find tons of exotic filaments 
Cheers

The thing about pp cf is it is not the typical cf, you don’t have the fibers overlapping so you don’t get the same look. But you definitely get a good alternative! Still worth playing with. I actually talked to the owner of pp about their cf and it’s not really stronger than abs, I used it to print a dji inspire camera mount so I could mount a 3d camera on it and the mount has held up very well! I printed cf on a makerbot 2x with a .4 tip and I didn’t have a problem at all. The only thing about the cf is that it is very abrasive! I print it with zero heat on a Fleks3d build plate without a problem. Protopasta offers around $7-10 off a sample spool, you get a good amount, or you can use your 3d hubs discount perks code. I would definitely get a sample spool.

Good eye! Yes I go to KSU. I don’t print all if these models, most but not all, I have a good relationship with the head chair of the Construction Management Department so I can get access to their Stratasys uPrint se and have a good relationship with the Shop Manager of the Architecture department so they let me toy with their Makerbot 2x. I have also done a lot of playing with my 2.0a to make it better, it also helps that I use Simplify3d. Some of the other prints I have, I have ordered on 3d Hubs. Sourced the community!

In response to you asking me to a PM.
Trying to send a PM on 3D Hubs is worse than filing taxes.
