Extruding Acrylic?

Hello!

I have been thinking: What about extruding acrylic? It's glass transition temperature is around 100 C, just like ABS, so in principle it should be possible. Maybe it needs higher temperatures? Is there filament available?

Has anyone experimented/thought about this?

I can now answer part of my question with the help of nophead:

[hydraraptor.blogspot.de]
short version: Yes, it's possible to print with acrylic.
(By the way, very informative blog, I've started reading recently from the beginning, Kudos to nophead!)

So the question remaining is: Is there filament available?
