Messing about with the new Laybrick (Beta) Material - it’s like printing with stale chewing Gum - but in a good way 
Totally impossible to remove it from a glass bed mind you !
You’re always on the cutting edge, aren’t you 
How does the finished object feel like? Is brick-like or more like a soft PLA mixed with sand?
How is it w.r.t warping? More like PLA (good), ABS (bad), HDPE (ugly)?
@Thomas_Sanladerer I’m always getting cut! - It’s really like stale chewing gum! the filament feels more solid than the printed part, it’s almost like it transforms from a bit like soft PLA to a soft feeling limestone? it’s not sandy.
@Andrew_Plumb It has no warp as far as I can tell. But we do need to find a suitable bed material to print on. I used a Cold glass bed with hairspray for first print - Really BAD move! - almost destroyed the glass getting it off - about 15 mins of scraping with a blade.
Paper or card should be good, I’ll try that next
Paper was what I was going to suggest next. 
What are printed Laybrick’s properties like with exposure to water?
@Andrew_Plumb I had the ‘welded’ model in warm water for 10 mins and that did not help remove it. But I expect with the right chemical it could be used as a support material !
I was thinking more in terms of absorption (for painting) and post-processing with other plaster- and cement-friendly substances. Also, if you use paper on the base, you might need to use water to soak it off the printed part.
How is the general toughness of the material. what about layer bonding? Or should I wait for the next blog post?
@Andrew_Plumb I expect it will be amazing for Acrylic paint and post processing. It’s still not hard after many days, so I guess it will stay a little soft and flexible.
@Ben_Malouf I have only had time to do a few prints, and all of them were semi-destroyed trying to get them off the bed. I’ll try a few more materials at the weekend ( I do expect cardboard to be ideal). I had a perfectly printed chain link - it’s a part I print in every material and every colour, but that was totally bonded to the glass (it still is actually) - the layer bonding is fantastic and it has a natural porosity in the print, different temperatures make it smooth or rough, so all sorts of finishes can be done with speed of extrusion and temperature.
As a side note have you tried cardboard with Nylon yet, it works remarkably well with 645.
