My mistake then. It was the string pattern at the bottom of the solo Buddha that made me think that.
Great job on the prints. What printer are you using? What resolution were the Buddhas...

Those look nice. But, would you mind making your own thread?
And from your pictures, your filament looks very much like plastic. What are your printing temperatures?
The person casting the YodaBuddha sent this teaser pic today. Not completely done, but I think it looks great so far.

This pic was just after hosing off the...
Since PVA is slightly cheaper, and water soluble, I feel it would be a better alternative than wax filament for support structures. That's assuming wax would even work for that purpose. But, it was...
I attempted to test for using the wax as support, but I still need to the nozzle heights. They are off enough to cause issue. I have been more focused on other things, so I will revisit that later....
If you like, I could edit the price for you to make it cost more than shipping! :) lol, j/k! Understandable.
For the sample packs, the bulk of the cost is the shipping by design. The remaining...
We recently added 10 meter coils, and 1 lb. spools to our website. http://www.machinablewax.com/product.php?product=52
Using the wax for a support material has been an afterthought, but it has not been tested for that yet. I am in the middle of converting the D4S we are using for testing into a dual E3DV6 bowden. I...
Not a bad idea. We may give that a try.
Thanks. I am hoping to see the one in brass in the next couple days. Super excited for that!
We don't have a final price yet.
There will be spools, and a pellet form available.
The extrusion temp so far seems to range between 135°C, and 145°C depending on the printer. I have been using hair spay on 75°C glass for adhesion. I have been told that gluing a sheet of regular...
Last week, we sent out a few spools for testing. One of the gentlemen agreed to cast that Yoda print for me. I wanted to smooth it out a bit, so I made a new print @ 50micron. I also tried some...
I have inquired with the boss about this for our other wax blends, the answer I was given was that direct food contact certification is costly, and also adds a liability issue.
Thank you!
I did a 5mm step calibration test.

I also ran a few surface calibration prints. This was the better of them at 50 micron. The...
It could be food grade if we pursued the certification, but for it's intended purpose of casting, I don't think we would.
It is a delicate balance. It wants to wrap around the filament feed motor much like the ninjaflex type filaments. I am going to modify the drive slightly so I can insert some ptfe tubing to help...
Correct on both points. It will definitely burnout cleaner than PLA, and the detail would be sub par for most jewelers/dental labs. There is some minor interest for the smaller operations who may...
We have been working on a wax that will function in the filament type printers. Yesterday was the first time we were able to prove the concept! We are still in the very early stages, but I still...
