Well, with PLA and PET you have quite a few possible applications. But I understand more would be nice.
I've had good results with Bronze and CopperFill too, without modifications. Haven't played much with Nylon, but since it warps more I didn't feel like trying it until I needed the properties of the material. FilaFlex prints okay, but needs minor modifications and more getting familiar with.

To be honest I have not gotten anything but PLA and PET working with the Ultimaker. So fed up that I will never try anything else. Nylon, flex, carbon filled, all a big mess.
This design has no overhangs and prints pretty ok. Though I must admit it's not up to current standards.

Hallo Venkel, I like this idea, b.t.w. you might be able to get this working with Ultimaker CPE or ColorFabb XT or PETG. These have a higher glass transition temperature, referred to as Tg. This means that they will only start to deform at higher temperatures. Nylon (polyamide) also has really high "Tg".
