Topic: Specialty Filament Suppliers?

I am working on testing new plastics for 3D printing filament. However i'm having a hard time finding someone to make custom filament from materials that i can supply and ship. I was wondering does anyone know a supplier that will do this? Or would any US Filastruder owners be interested in making a little money?

Currently we are looking at all types of ethylenes but we will be expanding this after the first round of tests.

Re: Specialty Filament Suppliers?

An MSDS would probably be helpful...

Filastruder - the robust, inexpensive filament extruder
E3Dv6 All Metal Hotend - the premier 3D printing hotend
