Hey, there is an autodesk supported artist from some european country, I believe netherlands?, that is using a 5 axis arm and some form of welding to make kinda crappy but kinda interesting "prints." That's sorta FDM-ish.

Re: printing metal with a FDM - not a april fool joke anymore
You can preorder the bronzeFill now http://colorfabb.com/bronzefill#.U49L29go9D8
So tempting except I'm in the states and the shipping is quite pricey. I might do it anyways even if a spool ends up costs waaay too much.
Clearly the benefit of this is getting a bronze look, the drawback is that you need to polish it and thus will likely lose much detail.

Re: printing metal with a FDM - not a april fool joke anymore
This Color fab bronzefill is out now for it's beta run. I will be getting some from PrintedSolid(a US reseller of colorfabb) once they get some in a few weeks. This stuff is 80% bronze powder/20% PLA and something like 3 to 4 times heavier then PLA.
There is stuff on twitter about it including some sample prints. I can't wait to get my hands on this stuff!

Once I have it in my hands...I'll do some testing

Re: printing metal with a FDM - not a april fool joke anymore
I'm totally looking forward to your results...if it's as good as advertised, I'm gonna pick up a spool.
How long has the wait been for you to get it (so far)?

Re: printing metal with a FDM - not a april fool joke anymore
Not long of a wait. It came out from Colorfabb about 2.5 weeks ago (in the Neatherlands). The US Distrbuter PrintedSolid took some orders last week and they mailed them out yesterday. I will probbaly get some in my hands on Thursday.
There is post processing needed to make it shine. I have heard people using sandpaper, dremmel tool, and/or rock polisher for the sanding; And for the polishing metal polish, ketchup etc.
Here is a quick How to print with Bronzefill link http://learn.colorfabb.com/print-bronzefill/
* I am gonna have to learn about antique patina and metals. That effect looks wicked.

Re: printing metal with a FDM - not a april fool joke anymore
Nice! Thanks for the link. The "antique copper" treatment looks snazzy.
Do you have a link for the US distributor?

Re: printing metal with a FDM - not a april fool joke anymore
*I brought some t-glase and the woodfill from them previously with no problems.
It is pricey stuff...but hopefully worth it.
750g spool was about $67
1.5kg spool was about $100
He don't have it one his site yet but taken from thier twitter AKA @PrintedSolid just yesterday...
"Woohoo! limited amount of @colorfabb #bronzefill in stock for US shipments. DM or http://www.printedsolid.com/contact/ to order
"
