Re: Cast Basalt

Someone actually sells a Basalt "moon dust" simulant for 3D printing experiments:

Matter Hackers - The Virtual Foundry Basalt Moon Dust Filamet - 1.75mm (0.25kg)

The Virtual Foundry's Basalt Moon Dust Filamet™ is a unique 3D printing filament and pellet, composed of 60-62% basalt, designed to replicate the moon's surface. Compatible with any Fused Filament Fabrication 3D printer, it requires minimal equipment for easy printing. Less hygroscopic than PLA, it offers advanced properties and becomes 100% basalt when sintered, with minimal warping. Ideal for lunar construction research and similar applications.
