    New thermoplastic for 3D printing

    We are looking for a 3D printer to test different next generation polymers. We are looking for a printer where we can easily control feed rates and temperature. we need a printer that can work with very amount of filaments.
    Thank you for any help
    best.

    Features

    It's naturally transparent and can be colored to various degrees of translucency & opacity
    Also strong, and more rigid than other materials used in 3d printing
    Less warping or shrinking issues
    Ideal for small parts

    Your posts are bordering on spam - he asked what sort of printer would be good, he didn't ask what Flex filament is and how it works.

    I recommend a flashforge or similar crappy clone. You want to test new filaments - don't spend too much. Buy a sub-standard CTC printer for $500 and run it into the ground, that's what I'm doing.

    plus if it works on a replicator clone - the odds are it'll work on every other printer as well.

    Any printer with Sailfish can have temps and speeds adjusted on the fly.

    What's a next generation polymer? We can already print everything we've tried, from FilaFlex to PEEK.
