Thanks for the explanation. Had thought that it may have had fibers in it like fiberglass, to make it stronger.

I would imagine that successfully completing a design would be very satisfying. ;)
Yes, some filaments do  have fibers for example carbon fiber as well as metal. I have mixed aluminum into resin and it looks real enough, but it becomes more brittle. They 3D folks have a ton of material for the 3D maker to play around with.

For those of us who are not up to speed on 3D printing, would you please explain what filament is?



There is more to choose from in filament. As I said I make the chassis out of filament, as already stated it is a type of plastic. The bodies I make out of resin.

For me designing is major fun. Of course a successful finished design is even more fun.

Filament is the plastic or resin thread that's used by a 3D printer to make stuff. Slot cars of course.

You buy it by the roll like fishing line.
