<p>That does, I'm trying to build a CNC panel/gantry router, like a Shapeoko but in a 5x10 feet area. &nbsp;I picked up a roll of Gizmo Gorks Acetal Resin filament, but I can't get it to stick to a build plate, so I am looking for a similar impact resistant filament that I might actually be able to print with.</p>

<p>I was trying to not make it about advertising plastic filament but I was excited to have a material I could build strong parts with.&nbsp; We used ColorFab XT to make the first bot in these photos: <a href="http://www.voxelfactory.com/collections/other-special-1-75mm-filaments-woodfill-_xt/products/colorfabb-_xt-1-75mm-amorphous-copolyester-750gr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.voxelfactory.com/collections/other-special-1-75mm-filaments-woodfill-_xt/products/colorfa...</a>&nbsp; If you are in the USA I think <a href="http://www.printedsolid.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.printedsolid.com/</a> sells it too.&nbsp; <br></p><p>I liked the XT material because the heat bed only needs to go to 70C extruder around 245C.&nbsp; It is a very strong plastic, with no bad fumes.&nbsp; The down side is there is some flex under high loads.&nbsp; I just printed it with high infill 25% and there was no problems.&nbsp; ColorFabb XT is very temperature resistant compared to PLA and no delamination like ABS but it is expensive.&nbsp; We've made a few kits for middle school classrooms, in this stuff and&nbsp; sometimes ABS and I don't really see a difference in the overall print performance.&nbsp; These days we use both materials, whatever whe have a spool of at the moment.</p>Hope that helps.

<p>In the article on your site you mention that you are using a "new dimensionally stable high temperature filament,"&nbsp; what type of filament are you using?</p>

<p>This is a design my Maker Club posted as a collaboration.&nbsp; We've done our best to reference all source designs.&nbsp; If you have any questions about the build or if we miss anything, please let us know.&nbsp; We are committed to being open in our process.</p>
