In one of my Filament orders I thought I'd try a sample of thermochromic ABS. It changes from dark green to yellow with a change in temperature. So I thought it would be cool to make the layer and PEEK fan housings out of it.
Cold.
Cold.
Hot.
Hot.
Works pretty well doesn't it? It changes colour almost instantly once the hotend is on. :D

If anyone wants to buy any (In the UK): http://www.shop.3dfilaprint.com/abs-175 ... -510-p.asp
You can get in in different colours too.

That is a fascinating filament, I have never seen that before.
Thanks for letting us know.
