Topic: Hemp?

Why have I not heard any mention of hemp being used in 3D printing? I'm sure it can be done, I mean, people are printing with wood and that stills seems weird to me. If I had a Filastruder I would give it a try. There are places to get pellets but I have yet to see filament.

Re: Hemp?

it doesn't seem to far fetched
they are experimenting with printing stem-cells (body parts) so I think printing plants could be possible sometime in the future.
look at all the medications that come from plants that could be printed.
