    Makergear M2 - Are other filaments possible?

    The M2 is advertised to be able to print ABS and PLA. Can any upgrades be done to print wood filament or FDM and PVA?

    you can print taulman 618 nylon, the wood stuff i think is ok as well, eco flex, pet, hips. the pva is a support material so thats for dual extruder printers. you can print anything with the m2 that any other printer can. its good up to about 235deg. an all metal hotend is being realsed be them very soon to allow extrusion of pc. should be good to the +300deg range.

    I don't think this would work, but I'm not sure. I'm sure there is a way, but it would probably be pretty hard to accomplish.

    I have seen 3D printed chocolate and sugar. I believe 3D systems bought up a company doing the latter.
