    New Liquid Plastic Filament - Could this be what we all need?

    Today a man named Steve Mills launched an indiegogo project for new types of 3D printer filament. They include graphene and graphite conductive filaments as well as 'liquid plastics' filament. The liquid plastics is the most incredible in that it can be extruded without heat and from nozzles the size of a hyperdermic needle. If he succeeds, this could really help increase the resolutions of 3D printed objects on FDM printers. Read more about this incredible technology at http://3dprint.com/6568/liquid-plastic-filament

    This stuff could make a huge difference. It could bring the quality of FDM prints up to those of SLA.

    So it's FDM with air-dry epoxy?

    Might be cool, also might have a boatload of unforseen issues.

    Why not a 2-part epoxy like JB-Weld and print with two needles?

    Hmm, the Indiegogo page is off-line.
    Too bad, wanted to check this one out.
    Project cancelled?

    Wow, this seems amazing. I wonder why it's no longer on indiegogo though.... Was it some sort of joke?
    I would think this would be feasible. There are plastics that harden in the air. If they could keep it airtight, this should work.
