Fun fact about nylon: when it absorbs water it actually becomes up to 8x _stronger._ Injection molded nylon parts are often aged for a few days in humid chambers to bring them up to full strength.

@The_Eldest_Millenial 9 месяцев назад

Ehhh... Moisture acts as a plasticizer in nylon and therefore reduces strength and stiffness properties but increases elongation and toughness. But yes, in general, as moisture content rises, significant increases occur in impact strength and other energy absorbing characteristics of the material.

As soon as you put the Petri dishes in the closet I screamed,”Noooooo! Put them upside down!” The condensation that pools above can fall back into the dish and actually “wash” away your results or throw them off. So yea…you need to do that again not only for repeatability, but technically your results are considered inconclusive.

I'm brand new to 3D printing, and in the first 10 minutes, I learned so much about printing. I've been buying the "prettiest" PLA and was wondering why ALL of my prints were SO BRITTLE... I had no idea there were so many variations... Thank you so much! Time to put these silk variants away for my heavy duty parts.

@ZackFreedman Год назад

Yeah! After a certain point, the more pigment, dye, glitter, and other additives they put in a filament, the weaker it gets. Some brands, like Fusion and ProtoPasta, make gorgeous filament that sacrifices some strength. Others, like Polymaker, use the bare minimum and perform slightly better.

Amazing video! Highly entertaining, and I have come back many times while browsing new filaments to get another dose of the VSL essential info for each one. I also just bought 200g of Delrin because of this video -- had no idea it could be printed, and I have the setup to at least give it a good shot.

Great summary on the filaments but I do have to admit I do print TPU on bowden with a SeeMeCNC EZR extruder top. I’ve shown it on my channel. So it’s not BS.

Same. I’ve been able to print Priline TPU on my unmodified Ender 3.

@mox3909 Год назад

I have an Ender 3 at home and an Ender 3 Pro at work both of which have stock bowden tubes and 95A TPU gets used on them all the time with no major issues. Slowing down print speed seems to make things easier. Below 90A might start giving trouble though, I've never tried TPE.

@OldManCassius 2 года назад

As far as TPU on a bowden goes I've been printing quite a bit of it on an Ender 3 with great success. All I had to do was upgrade the bowden tube to something with tighter tolerances and slow the print down. I occasionally get stringing but it's nothing unreasonable and a little cleanup with a heatgun makes it look perfect.

@PrivateJoki Год назад

Same here :-) I use the Capricorn tube which makes it quite easy to print flex materials on the ender 3.

@MihaiDesigns 3 года назад

Wow a lot of good info condensed in this video. Have you considered putting it in a spreadsheet/table form? I'm thinking it would be easy to digest, look up various aspects and compare filaments as needed. I often use filament tables like the one from Simplify3D to decide what filament to use without having to memorize all the details. Keep up the good work!

@ZackFreedman 3 года назад

I was considering it, but the sheer amount of time it would take makes it impractical. Maybe in the future I'll get an intern or someone who can compile this.

@mxaniac 2 года назад

I appreciate all the work that went in to this, and his sense of humor helps with the lengthy video. I certainly haven't come to the same conclusions though. I've never found anything as worthless as PETG, it prints slow, doesn't do overhangs well, and is too stringy for multiple parts to be printed at once. On the other hand I've not found anything as good of a work horse as ABS. Once you've got it dialed in you can print very accurate humongous parts that are tough and can be post print machined, bonded, or polished. TPU is another favorite, and a great way to make tough parts for things like RC cars that take a lot of impacts. Regardless, the video is a great single source place for information and pitfalls for a lot of different filaments.

@cacaokingdom3122 2 года назад

I really like ABS as well however I have had some serious trouble getting it dialed on my CR10S Pro. It is going to require an enclosure I think for me to work with it. I have had no issues with PETG tho. It has become my general purpose filament. Once I got it dialed in, it prints easy and just as fast as anything else. I do agree that it is stringy but it cleans up pretty easily so not a huge deal. Cleanup has always been part of my game anyways. Parts do have an "attacked by spiders" vibe going on after printing multiple parts. Definitely not best for overhangs. A decent general use filament tho.

Recently subscribed and watched these videos because I print high temp materials a lot, just a heads up, I use a glass bed at 90c with a coating of PVA for HIPS and it works fantastic. When the bed cools to 40c or so, my prints audibly crack right off the PVA surface, super easy.
