Needs YOU to develop better and stronger filaments!

[Z3Dfilament]

Z3D is an aspiring product development team from Taipei, Taiwan, centered around 3D printing filaments. We are all passionate about 3D printing but have experienced annoying issues such as stringing, layer shifting, and weak infills. We hope to develop better and stronger filaments for this inspiring community.

Z3D needs you, please fill out this survey http://goo.gl/forms/nVGV0BGxtMtwF4zG2 regarding your experiences with different filaments. Thank you so much!'

done that :-)
what do I win ?

We win a free roll of your first batch, right?

Just a survey design remark - the amount of parameters you are having people score is quite limited - there are so many other important factors with filaments, like all mechanical and process-related factors. Also if you include a few open ended questions regarding people's needs for new filaments you will get much richer information.

There are additives in plastics that some of the lower end filament manufacturers might not care about or even be aware of.

The gist of it is that plastic is inherently VERY sticky in it's raw molecular form, and so additives are introduced to reduce or eliminate this sticking - primarily for the sake of injection molding where part removal from the tool is pretty important.

Perhaps it would be possible to control this additive amount to promote bed adhesion? I wonder if anyone has considered this aspect yet.
