Topic: 3D print with Sugru

Apparently the guys at Hyrel 3D Printers have figure out a way to print with Sugru, a silicone rubber that remains pliable after it cures. Anybody know if there is a Sugru filament or otherwise a pliable, rubbery filament? I've found wood, sandstone, etc. but rubbery would be good.

Re: 3D print with Sugru

I just found the Flex EcoPLA filament video. Its cool but still looks kinda stiff compared to Sugru. I'm thinking about weatherproof caps for push button switches.

Re: 3D print with Sugru

It's really hard to feed flexible stuff, especially at 1.75mm. I've made some thermoplastic elastomer filament with my Filastruder, but haven't tried printing with it yet.
