On: Programmable Filament

In my somewhat limited printing experience, small changes to hotend temperatures can have a big effect on print quality. Wonder how they’ll get around that problem.

I would assume hardware and setup are the limiting factors, not the filament really.

Not really. A little too hot and you get stringing or oozing filament. Too cold and layers don’t bound well enough. 5 degrees can make a big difference.

Well, the first sentence on their page:

"Imagine the possibilities for 3d printing multi-color objects using a stock 3d printer with no hardware modifications whatsoever."
