14 DAY TRIAL // 3D printing got squishy not too long ago, but that squishiness isn't the same as the squishiness exhibited by the so-called “items” made from the new extruder from Hyrel 3D. Simply because of the lack of elasticity.
Hyrel 3D has introduced a special extruder which, instead of plastic, uses materials like air-drying modeling clay, plasticine and, most importantly, play-doh, of all things.
The 3D Play-Doh printer in the video embedded above shows what the new invention from Hyrel 3D can do.
It's not a family item. People won't be expected to shell out $2,000 / €1,510 – 2,000 or $3,000 / €2,265 – 3,000 after all.
On the other hand, it could be quite useful and fun in schools and even kindergartens.
For a concept that started out as an April Fool's prank, it certainly came a long way.
