Hi Tim, great ideas. What type of plastic are you using? If its a flexible PVC type would you be interested in printing something for me?

Hey mate, for the prints in the video I was using a tough PLA. Poly-Propylene would be the material most similar in properties to flexible PVC however it is quite challenging to print correctly.

We do offer a 3D Printing Service but the printers for that are dialled in for PLA only which is not very flexible.
