What kind of materials can you print with on yours? Is it all plastics? Hi Gene - yes it's all plastics. But they are not always oil based. You can use PLA (poly lactic Acid) filament, which is made with corn. I have not used it extensively, but it comes in many cool colours, including a sparkly attempt at gold. The neat thing about using the PLA is that is smells a bit like cooking rather than burnt plastic when you print with it. -Whystler
