Every Filament
In this series, we’ll be testing as many different filaments as I can get my hands on and we’ll be testing for the following properties:
- Price
- Post Processing options
- This includes vapour smoothing, sanding, drilling, etc…
- Density
- Weight
- Layer Adhesion
- Cooling requirements
- How much cooling is necessary?
- Printing Requirements
- Do we need an enclosure? Do we need some form of adhesive for the bed?
- Temperature Resistance
We will eventually be testing for part strength and stiffness but I need to build machines first.
To start with we’ll be testing
- eSUN PLA+
- Overture ASA
- Overture PETG
- eSUN ePA-CF
- PC
- PA (Nylon)
- ABS
