Woah, what?! Pinned for a bit. People will probably want to know about this.

You wait for 6 months, and they all come along at once! :slight_smile: Lots of nice materials - Thank you and congratulations @Tom_Martz

I’m in. Taulman3D makes amazing stuff!

Backed. Why isn’t November tomorrow

The Tritan looks the most interesting for me, once Deezmaker has developed a heated bed for the Bukito.

Printed most of these over the last few weeks. Tritan and PCTPE are my personal favourites.

Tritan is amazing and you should also check out these videos from Eastman http://www.eastman.com/Markets/tritantough/Pages/Overview.aspx

Prints a little cooler (280C~) than PC but with way less warp and lower bed temps, and great adhesion to UHU Stic.

PCTPE prints as like Bridge but much easier, lower bed and nozzle temps and little warp. Feels and behaves like a softer version of Bridge like you might expect. It’s no soft rubber like ninjaflex, and is way easier to print. It’s hard to describe as I dont know of anything quite like it, but think more flexible nylon rather than a more rigid rubber.

@Shauki Tech G is a PETG which means a PET polymer chain with glycol added for toughness. Tritan is a copolyester which is beyond my ability to explain, but I understand that it is essentially a highly modified PET copolymer. These vary wildly in their properties. Tritan is significantly different to plain PET.

Are there printing materials made of carbon fibre?

pure fiber. no. Protopasta makes a plastic filament loaded with finely chopped CF that will print and has stiffer properties

@Sanjay_Mortimer1 unfortunately, Tritan is three or four times more expensive than normal PETG. In addition, PETG is available in different colors. I tend to PETG

Has anymore info come out on the MarkForged and their carbon fiber/Kevlar process.

I hope that this gets around enough to be funded so we can get the discount. Excited to try the PCTPE, Sanjay what settings were you using on the E3d? I just ordered one tonight to accompany my Taulman gear.

Just like Bridge for everything except nozzle temp which needs to be about 10C lower, so about 235C. Every thing else is pretty standard; heated bed with uhu stic. I used about 110C, worked well. Try not to vary your feedrates between perimeters and infill etc to prevent bubbles. Standard nylon printing technique applies.

@Sanjay_Mortimer1 Got a link to those “standard nylon techniques?” Would love a guide to review when my Tritan gets in.

@Ben_Van_Den_Broeck Dry it, dry it dry it. Use feedrates/speeds that don’t vary a lot between infill and perimeters etc - you want the transit time of the nylon in the nozzle to be the same across all of the print. This is all to prevent offgassing/water boil off which causes foaming and bubbles during extrusion. Not got a link but will consider doing a little tutorial. The tritan is awesome - going to be a big hit I reckon.
