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

Will do. I think I may have to start a new thread but please PM me to work out some details and I will send a list if what we need testing.

3dpGeek · 2016-03-09T22:41:27.000Z

I am definitely checking these all out! Thank you for your comment!

3dpGeek · 2016-03-09T22:42:49.000Z

I would definitely love to be apart of testing! Let me know when you start a new thread!

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!

I will definitely have to try that out! Does your Hub offer that?

Solid_Print_3D · 2016-03-09T23:27:48.000Z

In response to you asking me to a PM.

Trying to send a PM on 3D Hubs is worse than filing taxes.

My email address is contact@solidprint3d.com

Thanks,

Hi Cbrown. What Ninja flex fillament did you try? Have you checked Semiflex? It is also flexible but not as much as Ninjaflex. This topic is getting interesting!

3dpGeek · 2016-03-10T11:16:54.000Z

Ninja Flex by NinjaTek. I also since the first post tried xyzprinting flex and it is garbage. I thinking about trying semiflex.

MetaCAD · 2016-03-10T11:33:44.000Z

we use flexifil from form futura

barb_3dprintny · 2016-03-10T14:01:32.000Z

I like the wallet. Is the Nylon flexible like NinjaFlex? What filament do you think would be the best filament to use for o-rings and belts for someone who services Janatorial equipment - like carpet cleaners and scrub brushes. I am thinking it should be relatively resistant to cleaning chemicals and water resistant.

John3d · 2016-03-10T14:29:48.000Z

Nice prints mate love the quad how about you doing a post on setting for each filaments and pit falls ect that would be handy for some of us who want to try them
