Aerospace materials, maybe

[joealarson]

Same thing I use everything for. Toys and games.

[corsairf28r]

parts and things for boats

[GameProps]

A little bit of everything honestly from custom car parts to model kits.

[jintaco]

aviation and aerospace applications, sports equipment, racing industry.

I also see possibilities in urban design, using less material for the same structural integrity.

[mikethebomber]

Paintball and airsoft parts for carbon fiber PLA. Cooking utensils for high temp PLA. Self defense weapons such as batons for the Polycarbonate ABS

[mwu]

Anything where strength in a small or light part is desired. Automotive, aviation, many hobbies, sports equipment, etc

I would use the carbon fiber filament to prototype parts for a multirotor drone.

Q: What are some practical uses for our exotic 3d printer filament? Visit proto-pasta.com and then share your idea!

A: The metallic filaments are very nifty. I would attempt to use these in locking mechanisms and other project that require durability & rigidity. The fact that magnets are attracted to the material opens up many options for hinge/door connections. If used in conjunction with some insulation material and a high conductive filament you could create some very neat electronic devices.

This stuff is too cool! My daughter and her husband just bought an old house and there are some cast iron fixtures that are broken or missing and are simply unavailable elsewhere. They are only cosmetic so I'm wondering if this stuff might do the job of creating replacements. I can't wait to try it!
