Now...that...is...different...
If God wanted me to be a vegetarian he wouldn't have made animals taste so good.

Well, tell us more, Ben! you're intriguing us
how does it feel? Grippy? Slippery? Sticky?
How much does it weigh?

Re: 2019 Handles
What do you want to know? This one weigh 25 grams and feels pretty solid. There are lots of ridges, so I think it is super grippy. Anything else?
Re: 2019 Handles
Yeah,
when will you be producing burly, curly, and spalted ones?
Or two-piece examples?
25grams? Sounds like its as light as ho wood, no?
Ha. This is definitely different than working on wood. Of nothing else I am enjoying the process to running up a $200 printer plus upgrades. I may start tackling custom programming objects just for the fun of it. The type of thing that would happen when I can’t run powertools due to noise or unsafe levels of exhaustion.
These would also be much cheaper, so they are a nice economical route.
Two piece is possible, basically a pause then manually change the filament. It is a little more labor. I could see a wood filament with a change to spacer material then another change to ferrule material.
I just ordered glow in the dark, silver and rainbow filament. I may have let the 7yr old loose on amazon and then narrowed it down from there.
