I wonder how hard it would be to make filament from this stuff then directly print molds smile Looks pretty soft might be trick to feed properly.

I sent the link to Ian, hopefully he'll check it out and give us all one of his nice writeups.  I think the best part about it is how quick it is and reusable.  You can print in ABS and cast in rubber.  Just think of the iPhone cases you can make, haha.

Here is something I'd like to try tiwht the composimold.  It would take a lot of silicone, but wouldn't be so bad with the composimold.  I haven't printed it yet, it would definitely be a warp hazard.  Just fill it up with composimold, and then use a fast curing resin to crank out spool ends.
