I'm still new to the field, so I may be mentioning something that already exists, but a material that can be set to deliver PANTONE-quality and compatible colors to a common foundation. Also, and I see this has been mentioned, a conductive material.

First thing that came to mind was conductive materials.
Going on a slight tangent, but it would be cool to see filament/software combinations to create gradients on a print - whether the color shift comes from one spool that has multiple colors chained or a multi-spool support.

conductive
non-solid color - variegated/camo (could make prints look better without having to paint), metal flecks/GLITTER (would be awesome but may clog), edible filament (a bit of a stretch but fun)

It would be nice if someone came out with a filament that has more strength then your average pla or abs filament. steel reinforced or something.

Can you guys make some filament that changes color when the temperature changes (think mood ring filament?)

Metal type filaments. I know this is a difficult thing as metals don't print well but using a paste extruder and a material similar to Precious Metal Clays that could be fired in a post process fashion to create 3D items in metal would be a great alternative to actually printing in metal using a FDM style printer

graphene - I read that Graphene 3D Lab Inc are working on this. Will be awsome to print custom made power sources.
rubber material - biodegradable material - reusable materials: Probably need some kind of melting machine that makes your filament back into wire - or "just" a melting chamber integrated in the printer that you can toss old printed parts into.

Perhaps the one type of filament I have heard the most complaints about has been the clear filament. Everything from it jamming up an extruder (worse than other filaments have) to issues with layer sticking. The filament I would like to see most of all would be a alumide filament.

The capacity to produce optical elements via FFF, even if it included post-processing.
