I agree that the material is pretty sketchy. If this is supposed to last any more than 5 minutes there must be some sort of tempering mechanic happening - Steel is just too brittle otherwise. It says on the website that they can print in steel, stainless steel, aluminium, bronze or copper, all of which are going to have the same problem. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Either we're missing some information, or it's not going to last very long.
