dkieft Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I posted this over on the KS thread but thought I would put it here too since it is hobby related: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adambeaneindustries/cx5-sculptable-filament-for-3d-printers?ref=project_link 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threejacks Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Very interested in this stuff,,I need to get in touch with Micro3d first though just to make sure that the Micro`s temp can be set that low.Im pretty sure all other specs on it should be good:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Very interesting. For a guy like me who usually casts my prints in plaster so they're easier to finish and sculpt, this is very interesting... Uh ... $250 a 1 kg spool? I'll stick to my traditional methods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threejacks Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Yeah its spendy for sure.The PVA im using runs about 12.00 for 250 feet.Kinda hard to tell with this stuff but just a rough estimate makes it around 35.00 for the same amount,,I dont know how much the other stuff and tool they send with the 50.00 pledge is worth.

I was all "Couldn't I just get the filament?" But yeah very pricey but it looks like an awesome product (assuming it works as advertised). Perhaps others will make similar products that will be cheaper. Jim, I was wondering if it would be practical/possible to print the bulk of a model in cheaper plastic and do an outer layer of this stuff... If so, you could save a small fortune over time.
