New types of filaments

I just seen this at reprapper.com, electrically conductive filament!

It's nice to see things like this come around.  May have to wave bye bye to winding Rodin coils, just print the windings!  Perhaps VIC coils?  Hmmm whats the resistive value I wonder...

Oh and they have temperature color change filament too.  Could print WFC housings and prove they are cold while running just by looking at them. :D

Can't wait for more goodies.:P

Could you really do that Nate?  Print one of those Unification Coils?  Which means you would switch between conductive and insulated filament and do the whole thing in one process.  Wow, that is cool.

Sure can with dual extruders.  This makes me want to have 3 extruders now though. :D

Yes this would be awesome. I have printed about 10 spools of filament from them now, they keep getting better and better. They also have glow in the dark filament.:cool::D:P
