The environment is on everyone's mind when we talk about petroleum based 3d printer filaments. This has led to several innovations in the last year or two around the filament market. One of these innovations were from three Purdue Students, who created a soy based 3d printer filament called Filasoy.

The students won a $20,000 prize for their creation. More details on this filament can be found at: http://s3dinnovations.wix.com/filasoy
