I would like to see more flexible filaments on the market

[yoman258]

I really think conductive materials would be amazing.

What new material(s) do you think the filament market isn't providing, or isn't providing well?

I wrote this earlier, not an exciting answer but when building printed hands for kids, Boys are pretty easy color wise, Girls are limited in sparkly or glittery filament. more of those would be nice.

[Bluecake]

More multi color filament would be welcome.

[YosemiteSam]

Gold filaments do not look gold at all. They all look brown to me.

[DOMmk7]

how about glass or glass like material? carbon fiber?

[jestar9]

Definitely conductive materials and realistic metallic finishes.

[barto]

i havent seen consumer grade metal yet. some sort of conductive material would be useful for electronics projects

[Catrinisin]

Affordable ones! But really, metal based materials. Not only for conductivity, but also for strength.

there are many good ideas posted. most however are specialty type filaments. from a business standpoint the niche filaments arent going to be huge sellers. pet on the other hand one day will eventually take the place of abs. its the future as far as a workhorse type filament. problem is very few companies are producing it so prices are high. i do see many companies are catching on though. just got some samples of some new stuff at maker faire. 3dxtech should really look into this. the colorfabb xt opaques which are petg are awesome.
