I ordered some of this to test for a project. It might work as well. Will get my roll soon.

pat i actually plastic weld nylon/abs blend all the time. side fairings on the sportbikes are made in it. i realize welding and printing are 2 different things but as far as welding goes it bonds to itself well and its a chemical resistant plastic. has nice flex to it. you can bend it and it doesnt turn white in the bend like abs does. of course 3dxtechs formula is sure to be a little different im sure. let us know how it works out.
