Anyone use plastic beads, not filament?

[Nathan McCorkle]

I'm looking for someone in town that might be able to test some
different bead formulations, I might be able to get the stuff as
filament, but I know for certain I can get beads.

Thanks!

I do have one of those filament makers they sold on kickstarter a few years ago, but it's still sitting in a box unassbled.  It takes the beads, heats and extrudes them into filament.

Thanks Tom! I found this printer that skips the filament-making
completely... I was wondering if someone around town had something
like this already:

If someone did, I would be interested in seeing if I could give you
some differently formulated beads to try extruding into a model.

The idea is to try pellets/beads that have a similar content to this
jewelers paste (except that the beads are hard, not paste):
