Hi Community,
@Brian asked me to tell something about the #POROLAY series.
POROLAY is totally different to homogene (100%) materials as flex PLA or other flexibles.
After printing your object in the same way you do it with other stiff filaments you rinse your object for 1-3 days in water.
But please read here some extracts, and open later the attached *.pdf to find all informations at the momentually available 4 different Filaments.
POROLAY is a series of experimental filaments, printable with standard printers at a temperature of about 220 - 240°C.
It´s a kind of meta-material with different properties at different stages:
- in it´s delivery form, it´s hard and easy to print
- after rinsing in water, remaining in water it´s very soft and gelly-like, print sponges with,
-
dryed it´s visco-elastic, depending on quality of rinsing, it will be soft, leather like, or similar as cardbord or heavy paper, depending on which POROLAY you are using.
…
now please read the pdf.
If you find new applications for Porolay, please publish your results here 
Please be clement with me, I cannot (less time) give further rapid support. It´s an experimental filament for science and makers.
all the best from cologne,
Kai

@Filemon - have seen it but in the UK the sample price is too high - so will wait until it is generally more available - love the concept! (Had to learn how to do Ninjaflex in a bowden which was fun, but possible - but the shore 40 is really interesting!)

Hey Kai,
Do you have any links to shops selling the Porolay material, I think the community would love to get their hands on there.
Best,
Brian
