+# PEEK (Poly-ether Ether Ketone)
+- Mechanical properties massively beyond other plastics
+- Close to steel
+- Twice as tough as the toughest polycarbonate
+- Used in missiles and is fireproof
+- $700 a kilo (at the time of writing)
+- Prints at 400C
+- Requires a 140C heated chamber
+- Extremely high water retention
+- Special bed adhesive required
+- Difficult to print

+Same building blocks as PEEK, in different levels
+- Worse than PEEK mechanically, still far beyond other filaments
+- Much easier to print compared to PEEK
