Very impressive Davide!
Were can you buy PEEK filament?
What are the main design aspects of your extruder? As you probably designed it yourself.

Hello Bart
Peek filament is a prototype from our preferred supplier: not yet ready for sale, price will be surely out of this world (read: bloody expensive, surely).
Another challenge is the -extreme- hygroscopic behaviour....must dry it at 170°C (2-3h) before printing... if you need it, you surely need it badly.
OTH for less extreme application we are co-developing a new polymer mix to offer strenght, reduced warp and moderate hygroscopic behaviour.

Yes, we design our own extruders (all metal, but now we have also a PTFE-lined one for rubber/PVA/PLA).

Happy New Year!

I was surely going to visit you when I was in Milan, but now I'm tempted to visit you anyway ;-)
So much cool things you are working on!

Happy new year to you as well!
