We no longer have to put up with boring ABS and PLA we can print with all sorts. Check out this gallery of the best of the rest.
Just over a year ago when I used my first desktop 3D printer there were two materials PLA and ABS, that was it. There were the guys over at RepRap trying all sorts of new materials out, but nothing new had hit the mainstream. Just 12 months down the line and everyone has heard of composite thermoplastics such as Woodfill and flexible filaments like Ninjaflex.
So here’s a gallery of ten types of filaments you can now run on most open-source home 3D printers and what you might use them for.
