No idea but he got some pretty cool filament and I think it's for whatever it is. Looks copper from one angle and like a gunmetal/silver from the other.
That would look amazing! I hope one day to be good enough for swanky filament!

I hear good things about "silk" filament but it's harder to use from my understanding.

That would be helpful. I have a mess of a bay window with plants.

Anyone want an aloe or "mother of thousands"?

I'll keep it in mind. I'm at the "print something functional with inland" stage. But I did do a google and they look schmancy.

Good old Amazon spying... Look what just showed up as a push notification. "An item you might be interested in"

Not just silk, but metallic silk...

the scientist with the safety glasses looking at the vase is my favorite picture.
It's very important to understand that these have been evaluated scientifically not just by normal hobbyists.

Yooo, it worked! I have an rfg nozzle that fits!
Now I just need to learn what I did wrong and not do it again.

Speaking of, @danieyella @Projects with Sam @rmorris_14 and the rest of you, what did I do wrong and how do I fix it?
Looks pretty good, you referring to the scratchy exterior? Maybe just a messy file? Did you design it yourself or pull it from someone else? All the fine extra stringiness can be cleaned up with a heat gun usually, if that's the concern

Closer up it looks like the layers aren't fusing. It could be cooling off too quickly. The last picture it snapped. Not too worried about the thready bits.

That's awesome. What's going in it?

Does the rfg actually work?
Thanks!

Water comes out. I'm not sure if it's really random, but I can direct the flow, which is nice. I'd have to wait for something else on it to see how random it is. I'll probably print a new one at a higher quality for the final one though.
