I'm not sure what this stuff is, but so far it's pretty awesome. More flexible than PLA or ABS, it feels a bit like PP or PE. The manufacturer recommends printing at 175-195º, but claims that after printing, it's heat-resistant to 120º without any post-annealing!
It does have a bit of shrinkage, so it likes glue stick and some bed heat, but there seems to be no need to use the Z-Temp shim - let it smoosh into the holes. Extrudes beautifully. Raft was a little reluctant to come off (I printed at 195º), but once I got under it it came off cleanly.
This could be a very attractive alternative to Polymax, whose downfall is heat.
Algix seems to be a very "together" company - their packaging is gorgeous.
