Here’s a Chinese tensile strength comparison of Nylon 618, ABS and PLA.
It´s Google translated…

The translations are hilariously bad, but the numbers are nice and clear. I knew nylon was significantly stronger than ABS or PLA, but I didn’t expect an entire order of magnitude difference. Very interesting.

Now if only someone else would replicate the tests to show the results are repeatable… And maybe write it up in a way that’s easier for non-Chinese speakers to understand.

I recently bought great pla filament from a company here in the mid West for 22$ a kg roll called Coex filiments
