THIS has really piqued my interest! Hoping to get some samples at the TCT in September!

Ah, but will their datasheets be accurate? I tested nearly 50 such materials about two years ago for the USAF and found (A) nearly universally incomplete mechanical properties that were (B) nearly always fictitious! Most such materials only reached 40% of their "published values" and a few came close to 65%. That makes it hard to have "faith" in their datasheets.

Seeing is believing, they say...

That filament product is for support features so the major properties of interest are whether or not it has enough integrity to hold up the actual printed part features (made with a different filament) and how easy it is to remove from the final print.

Precisely. Its no the cheapest - about £25 per 750g - but if it works as on the video... wow... what a huge step forward.

Exactly - alas, I have a single extruder printer.
