I have been meaning to up these pics for awhile now. It's transparent ABS from plastic fantastic.

Only downside for some is the very high print temps required to use it, 260c min.

not bad... the transparent abs I made yesterday I printed at 230c.. made it on the filastruder at 183 to get the right diameter, but it printed great at 230, maybe they use something different that requires such high temps

I am planning on using recycled PET mixed with white ABS to do something similar. Cool stuff!
