That does, I'm trying to build a CNC panel/gantry router, like a Shapeoko but in a 5x10 feet area.  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.

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.  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>  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.  I liked the XT material because the heat bed only needs to go to 70C extruder around 245C.  It is a very strong plastic, with no bad fumes.  The down side is there is some flex under high loads.  I just printed it with high infill 25% and there was no problems.  ColorFabb XT is very temperature resistant compared to PLA and no delamination like ABS but it is expensive.  We've made a few kits for middle school classrooms, in this stuff and  sometimes ABS and I don't really see a difference in the overall print performance.  These days we use both materials, whatever whe have a spool of at the moment.Hope that helps.

In the article on your site you mention that you are using a "new dimensionally stable high temperature filament,"  what type of filament are you using?
