PolyWood, PolyMax and PolyFlex Filaments Seek Funding on Kickstarter

[Brian_Krassenstein]

Kickstarter is known for the 3d printers which have been funded on the platform. Today a 3d printer filament company called Polymakr has launched 3 new filaments which they are looking to get funded on Kickstarter. The 3 Filaments are called PolyWood, PolyMax PLA, and PolyFlex. They are seeking $25,000 from the crowdfunding platform by April 13th.

All three filaments have exceptional benefits to the regular filaments you and I are used to, according to the company. The kickstarter project can be viewed here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...desktop-3d-pri

Here is a look at a print with the PolyWood foam filament:

Looks like they're not going to have any trouble at all meeting their goal. They're up to $17,750 already.

It is interesting, but for PLA, IMHO, what is needed is a material with a higher glass transition temperature, so it won't soften and deform under heat conditions that are not very rare, like inside a car parked under the sun or for use in electronics where some parts can get hot.

Just thought I'd update this. They have already hit their goal of $25k. Looks like we are getting some new filaments!

Wow that was quick! These new filaments look great. Excited to see what new composites come out of necessity from 3D printing
