I recently got quite a lot of messages from viewers about a new, military spec, high strength multi polymer filament that consists out of a core made from polycarbonate and a hull out of ABS. Since I wanted to find out if this really could result in injection mold strength 3D prints I actually 3D printed myself similar material on the E3D Toolchanger and with the help of a proper heat treatment oven, got to work and boy, that was quite a journey! Let’s find out more!
