Polymorph plastic

[BigBulli]

I've been experimeenting with polymorph it is a plastic that melts in hot water and can be formed like clay. Once it is hard it can be cut, sanded or reshaped wwith hot water. I just used it on my puck and it worked awesome there are so many uses in for this stuff from custom mod boxes to supports for vv boards, switches, voltage displays, box mod grips.

This 'polymorph plastic' looks like a hot glue for book binders. Or for glue guns
Maybe a bit lower melting temperature. These granules sold in big paper bags.

It came in a big plastic bag. It does feel like plastic when hard though.

This thing mostly good to use as a compound to fix something inside a body. I would not use it as a material for housings. Does not grind, does not accept paints etc.
It's glue.

You can color it by adding powdered pigment to it once melted. I also placed electrical tape on it than reheated it witch caused the tape to melt to the polymorph plastic. If you watch the video instructions from the vendor theybuilt a robot out of it, I successfully made a battery connector mount on my tanker puck and used it to join the two battery boxes together by creating "pegs" that go through both boxes instead of epoxying them together. What ever this stuff really is it did serve my purpose. That said I would never use this any where that gets warm, or comes into contact with e-liquid such as tank caps or drip tip.

I've been utilizing my 3D printer alot for mod creation lately and this looks appealing as it should allow me to bond parts together a little easier then the way I have been. Normally I create a "glue" from ABS plastic by dissolving it in acetone. This can be tricky because it can also melt your object if your glue is too runny. This however looks promising. Thanks for the post I'll give it a try.

What type of 3D Printer do you have? What type of Tolerances will it hold?

I'm trying to convince a company I do Contract work for to get one for their Rapid Prototyping.
