Materials, Testing and Comparing

Unread post by zxys001 »

Recently I've been mixing my left over resins and it looks like others are as well.
And many are sharing the comparisons with other materials/process and the test are great to see.

TPU works great. Like hard rubber.
I tried some Ninjas Flex and very interesting.
I tried to print TPU with PLA but them don't stick together.

I am making an open offer to anyone on this forum. If you have parts you want tested, and you want accurate numbers (not weights bouncing from a scale) I will do the testing for you. The equipment we sell is primarily used for testing dampers (shock absorbers) but it also makes an excellent tensile test machine, and will produce a force vs displacement curve so you can see where yield takes place. Please contact me if you have any interest in this.
