a stronger material
a stronger material
Hi All, I need a material to print my fridge's door railing holder.
First holder I made was form PETG, after 2 month the holder broke. (I actually was impressed that it got broken perpendicular to printing direction ).
Now I made an ABS unit - lets see.
I ordered madesolid PET+ which is claimed to be stronger and less brittle. Any other suggestions ?
I would prefer plastic without infill - something which will not wear the hot end nozzle (v4). -- Thanks!

Re: a stronger material
your really not going to get any stronger than esun's epc. thats about the strongest thing your gonna find thats actually easily printable. gotta print it at about 270.
pet+ is basically very similar to petg. you wont see any better strength with that. opaque colors layer bond poorly also. or atleast it alwasy did. i havent used it in about a year and half. petg will be stronger than the abs part as well.

Either eSUN's ePA, or cast it with polyurethane resin.boep777 wrote:Hi All, I need a material to print my fridge's door railing holder.

I have the ability and know-how to do either of these, feel free to hire me

Re: a stronger material
How does the ePA handle bridging? Any fuzz issues like we see with PETG?
And which resin do you like, that is strong but demolds easily? I've played around a little bit with casting resins, but they're a devil to demold.

Re: a stronger material
Did you mean ePC ? Can't find the material online...Either eSUN's ePA, or cast it with polyurethane resin.
Will try ePC - thanks !

I've visited Smooth-On's local distributor pretty heavily. 95% of the time I'm doing a silicone mold first, usually platnium-cure (MoldStar 15 is my preference).jsc wrote:How does the ePA handle bridging? Any fuzz issues like we see with PETG?

boep777: contact sales@intservo.com and order a spool of ePA. It's not ePC. It's a pain to get stuck to the bed (I use garolite, thick gluestick on glass might work), but it's really strong once it's printed.

Re: a stronger material
Thanks, I wrote to INTSERVO - will try both ePC and ePA.
Re: a stronger material
Ok, today ABS holder got broken - PET+ is installed, ePC holder is ready for test, go ePA roll as well ...
PETG survived about 2-3 months
ABS survived a month

Re: a stronger material
Yeah i just did some testing and samples on some esun carbon fiber filled nylon. Wow what awesome stuff. It stuck down to a hairspray coated bed rock solid and its got zero warp that i could see. Extremely odd for nylon.
