Proto-pasta percolates some competition

AlexDick · 2015-08-25T17:34:11.000Z

We drink plenty of caffeine as we push hard to bring you new Proto-pasta materials. After all, it’s a Northwest tradition and caffeine fuels innovation, right? We took that statement literally in our upcoming September 1st product release! We’ll be launching Proto-pasta brand Aromatic Coffee PLA packaged with a limited edition mug and sticker. Its the first composite based on our new High Temperature PLA formulation which we will co-release. If that didn’t perk you up, know that you can use your 3D Hubs perks to purchase! Visit Proto-pasta.com and join our mailing list. You can’t imagine how amazing it is to print with the invigorating aroma of coffee. With print ease like standard PLA and better than ABS properties you can’t go wrong! This has by far been our favorite material to test print!!!

A new meaning to recycling filament!

Nice one! Way way to many perk puns - I love it! Can’t wait to grind this brew through the extruder. Nothing beats coffee on the (in) bed.

@amortech @boydconnor Marvin seems like he is everywhere…must be pretty wired and a natural candidate for an epic coffee print!
