I just saw this posted on their blog. I thought this image should how nifty this stuff is:



Oh all the cool things that could be done with this.

Nothing really new. Flexible filament has been available for some time now. It definitely gives the person doing the printer a little more flexibility (no pun intended

I've seen this stuff used. It's nothing all that exciting but definitely allows you to print more items. Items that can bend, and move a bit. I like how it is flexible to a point that it doesn't flex back once it is bent. Makes it very useful for certain things.

I want to see someone print a slinky with this. Right now.

Also, this should spark new inspiration for many modelers out there, and we should start to see a huge influx of Flexi-Models on Thingiverse soon.
