Hi all,
I would like to see, glitter filament, filament with a scent, elastic filament (like a rubber band), all this for a affortable price.
Kind regards,
Natascha

I would like to see more color change materials. Like UV, only more than just white to purple. More like temp changing materials. I found one on makergeeks, that goes from grey to clear. I would like to see more color changing variations. I know this sounds like a crazy idea, but maybe someone will figure it out, special material that the printer itself could alter the color to many variations. I know, that's think way outside the box. lol

As I said in a previous thread, customized coloring of filament while printing exists but has yet to reach the mainstream market.

I would really love to see a dedicated support material to be used in machines with duel extruders. Support made of the same material are great, they get the job done, but there is almost always a difference in surface finish once its removed. And in prints with internal cavities, support of the same materials is pretty much unusable because there's no way of removing the support afterwards.
A dedicated support material that dissolves in water or other solvent would be amazing. Or even a plastic with a much lower melting point. Something that can be removed but provide a solid/clean surface to print overhangs and cavities on. This is widely used in Objet's Polyjet technology.
I know there are solutions out there, but I feel like there could be a dedicated material tuned for support use.

Flexible materials. Maybe something that would feel like 100% silicone caulk.

I generally just print in PLA and ABS. I like to make instruments with my printer which are generally very large prints (like a body of a guitar). Large prints with ABS are not fun.... They warp and crack all the time when you try and get the layers thin. If you make them too thick they warp and crack due to the uneven cooling. Would be great to have a lower density material than PLA that works well for large prints.

I would say the use of carbon fiber needs to be expanded. Not just a filament, but the ability to be able to print in either twill weave or 2x2 pattern. I suppose this may be available in the future.
Please explain to me how to...
