I now have the impact tester up and running. In this video I'll go over my testing method and setup, while testing my favorite PLA+. Be sure to check out my backup channel on Odysee!
Hi, i was just wondering if this was the HIGH HEAT + TOUGH PLA - 3D870, because there are 2 on the website a normal PLA one and the Tough PLA one that says you can heat treat it from 100 to 120C, just want to know if its the same one as in the video and if it is did you heat treat it and would that cause it to shrink and take the print out of spec, thank you in advance.
@Hoffman Tactical Oh ok yeah i just saw that the other one is the 850 sorry for the stupid question and thanks for the info, i won't be buying it anymore 👍
Very good testing! I'd be interested to see more controlled temperature testing between the different types of filament. Heat resistance is one thing I worry about with PLA (even PLA+). Since you have a filament dryer, you should be able to easily construct a repeatable test that can test heat deflection versus time at a given temperature.
I was going to do one sooner. The problem is, right now at least, it's not practical. An aluminum upper can be had for low cost, shipped right to your door!
Hoffman Tactical This is delivered to your door, we have 5 years in prison for this. It's just that you can make an upper numbered and even the second amendment to the constitution will not be violated, and you will already have the best practices and experience to sell the kits.
Odysee appears to have oversold their bandwidth (like my ISP, argh...) It _might_ be usable -- if it didn't constantly hang, tell me its "performance may be degraded" and then impose a _five minute_ wait before I can try to refresh.
Push Plastic. Though I have found that 3D870 has a rather low layer adhesion, which has led to some small cracks on some of my lowers. I think PCTG may be a better option.
Unfortunately not. I have read the RU-vid Community Guidelines carefully and I can not find how the video was in violation. I think that somebody at RU-vid is going after me because of the 3D printed guns.
