BambuLab PA6-CF vs PA6-GF, strongest nylon filaments I tested so far

My Tech Fun 2024-10-06 | BambuLab PA6-CF is a nylon filament reinforced with carbon fibers. PA6-GF is reinforced with glass fibers. Both are printed with X1C 3D printer using default settings in Bambu Studio. I am repeating same mechanical testings, but in some experiments, these filaments were stronger than the maximal limits of my equipment.

My Tech Fun 2024-09-21 | PrintDry PRO 3 is a filament dryer which (according to specifications) can operate on 85°C. This temperature can significantly reduce the drying time of the nylon, which is the most sensitive to moisture. For all other filaments, smaller temperature is enough.

Another ABS vs ASA comparison: AzureFilm ABS Prime vs ASA Prime with zero warping techology

In this video, two more filaments from their Prime line are tested: ABS and ASA. They have the same price, and I am trying to figure out, why they have the ABS next to ASA (since ASA is UV and weather resistant, less smell during the printing).

eBay impact tester vs DIY impact testing machine

My Tech Fun 2024-08-23 | With pendulum impact testing machine, we can see how the material resists to dynamic loads. The cost of DIY impact testing machine was 60$, but the main problem with it is the geometry of the hammer. I bought an analog impact tester from eBay; the cost is 15x bigger than DIY but 15x cheaper compared to European machines. Looks like 5.5J is too strong for 3D printing materials, but there are many other questions too. Is it usable? What is the accuracy? Is it finished? To be honest, it reminds me to Ender-3, which can be accurate 3D printer, but it needs some tinkering.

The machine I bought myself, this is not affiliate link, just link to store where I bought it:

Sovol SV08 Enclosure - good for ABS, but what about PLA?

My Tech Fun 2024-08-09 | If we want to print with ABS or similar technical filament on Sovol SV08 we need an enclosure. In this video I am testing the SV08 Metal and Tempered Glass Open Enclosure. Few questions I want to answer in this video: Can we print ABS? What is the quality of PLA printing? Is it really quieter?

On the test: Bambu Lab 3D Effect Sheets

My Tech Fun 2024-08-03 | Bambu Lab has new 3D effect sheets with very interesting texture, which will be visible on the bottom surface of 3D printed object.
In combo I got 4 sheets but only 1 steel plate. Besides surface texture, very important is the filament adhesion to the bed, which is also tested in this video.

Bambu Lab A1, great bed slinger, but is it better than P1P? (for PLA)

My Tech Fun 2024-06-06 | Bambu Lab A1 is the best bed slinger I tested so far. But the big question is, if it should replace my P1P, which is my #1 printer for PLA material. It has many advantages compared to P1P: it is quieter, nice touch screen, can accept cardboard spool. Print quality and speed is similar, only the acceleration is slower.

Can we dry the nylon at 70°C? Surprising results!

My Tech Fun 2024-06-03 | Every filament absorbs moisture from the air, and this may have a negative effect on the quality. The most sensitive to this humidity is the Nylon (Poly amide). Most of the filament dryers on the market can heat the air up to 70°C. Let's find out if this temperature is enough for drying the nylon.

PEI, PEO, PEY sheets. Which one is your favourite? I have mine..

My Tech Fun 2024-04-22 | P3D sent me 3D printing sheets for the testing. These are for BambuLab printers (P1P, P1S, A1, X1C) but they are available in many different sizes. Tested sheets are textured PEI, PEO and PEY. All 3 sheets are two sided. I measured the bed adhesion but also, I analyzed the bottom surface too. In most cases, they take over the pattern from the sheet.

Sovol SV08 based on Voron 2.4, similar print quality for fraction of the price

My Tech Fun 2024-04-21 | Sovol SV08 is based on very popular Voron 2.4 design. The quality of this design is better even from todays consumer CoreXY printers on the market.
I am not sure how, but Sovol made this printer cheaper than many voron kits (those kits requires 40+ hours of assembling)
