This printer does seem like a more versatile machine than most of the hot extruder type printers I've seen. I looked at the site, but it wasn't really clear about how the non-filament materials were handled. Is there a heated hopper that feeds them down a tube? The videos I saw showed the material flowing out, but not how it flows in. Is there one I missed that gets into that?

It seems that if you could utilize plasticine, wax or some other soluble material as a support material for the filament plastic, it would be quite useful, and eliminate one of the main drawbacks of this type of printer. Have you tried that, or is there some reason it won't work?
