PLA. Carbon Fiber PLA and More! Performance 3D Printer Filament. by ProtoPlant INC. What is Proto-Pasta? Proto-Pasta is a project that will change the landscape of what is available for consumer grade 3D printing materials and how those materials are evaluated. We have three goals for this project: 1- Make Available New Materials with Continued Innovation Consumer grade 3D printing is fast growing and material selection is a bottleneck for continued expansion into more demanding applications. PLA and ABS are the two most available materials, but they have some serious drawbacks like low softening temperature for PLA and low stiffness for ABS.

With this project we want to make available new materials that address some of these issues without sacrificing printability or affordability. After our initial offering of materials we will re-invest in R&D and continue to innovate. 2- Material Evaluation Currently, suppliers of filament do not give much information about what the material is and what the properties are. 3- Shipping Sweet Spot Rewards -Carbon Fiber Reinforced PLA -Spools.

ABS

SmartABS. SmartABS is a German engineered low-warp ABS desktop 3D printer filament. As its name implies, smartABS is an evolved variant of “normal” ABS. smartABS is as hard and resilient as normal ABS, but has some remarkable benefits compared to printing with normal ABS filament. Printing with smartABS filament means that you will have 90% less failure caused by warping, as the bonding between the layers is much better. This excellent interlayer bonding with smartABS filament can be obtained because smartABS has 30% less warp than normal ABS. This unique feature makes smartABS perfect for printing large(r) objects. smartABS is developed for all FDM/FFF technology based desktop 3D printers. smartABS prints best at approximately 250°C. Product Specifications Our smartABS filament is available in 1.75mm and 3mm diameter, has a natural white colour and comes on a spool with approximately 500 grams of smartABS filament wrapped around it.

T-glase PETT. Taulman3D” releases “t-glass” A low temp (212C) industrial 3D Printing Material The main features of t-glase Strength - Specifications on the strength of t-glase will be posted as soon as the data is returned from the test labs. We have started using a local test lab along with the lab's at a few universities to accumulate data. The process involves printing several "test bars" These are bars printed at 5" x .5" x .25". The setup for printing these is 1 perimeter and 100% solid layers.Temperature - Optimum temperature is about 212c to 224C, but will print down to 207C and up to about 235C. NOTE: A feature of t-glase was to select a polymer that easily sticks to heated acrylic and glass print tables for the smoothest bottom surface possible.

While t-glase meets this requirement, it results in a low glass transition temperature. The effects of a low TG is that parts printed in t-glase, should not be exposed to high temperature use or applications. 1. Bracelets by KAADEE Bracelets by KAADEE.

It is a very light printing material but has high strength and extreme durability. Another advantage of high strength taulman's "618" Nylon Co-Polymer is that it is easily dyed with standard fabric dyes (textile and paper acid based dyes). You can simply dye the natural colored (translucent natural to white) material in any color you desire. "From the moment I spotted the 618 Nylon was available I wanted to try colouring the raw filament with more than one colour, something I have always wanted manufacturers to make is a range of filaments that have changes of colour during the roll or even across the roll, now I had a way to do it myself. " notes Richrap, a maker and engineer in UK who has a lot of passion for making things work in the real-world.

Before dyeing he tie-wrapped the filament and dropped it into hot water to get it up to temperature.

PET + PET +: A New Go To Filament For 3D Printing Months ago, the MadeSolid team set out on a journey to discover a new, preferred filament to print with. We weren’t looking for a plastic filament that could be used in a few special situations. Instead, we wanted a new workhorse plastic; a material that could print functional models with amazing results and reliable consistency. PLA was our original go-to filament since we could bank on the success rates of the prints. But, we really wanted ABS functionality out of our prints, without the horrible fumes and warping issues. After tons of failed prints, jammed nozzles, and lost sleep, we found our new favorite filament in PET+. MadeSolid’s PET+ is an engineering grade filament. Engineering qualityFlexible strength100% recyclableGlossy surface finishHigh transparency (Clear Only)Easy adhesion (No heated bed required.

We ran numerous tests with the PET+ against PLA and ABS, the major materials on the market today. HIPS. Conductive ABS. Spool of ABS filament – 1.75mm – 1kg New spool size! ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a thermoplastic polymer used in industry for the manufacture of products featuring a high resistance to shock, rather rigid and lightweight. This is a raw material widely used by 3D printers. This conductive antistatic ABS was made by ABS material, blends of carbon fiber, carbon black and permanent conductive masterbatch. It can be used for antistatic, static dissipative, conduction of electric current and screen of electromagnetic interference shielding.

HIPS Support. Feb.28, 2013 ABS and PLA filaments have been used in 3D printing community for quite a long time. Some people have been testing other types of filaments, such as Laywood, Nylon or HIPS filament. HIPS stands for High Impact Polystyrene and is one of the most produced polymers worldwide. It is a flexible product widely used in the food packaging industry because of its strength, hygiene, and ability to retain heat. HIPS filament is extruded from High Impact Polystyrene. When printing with an FDM 3D printer, such as a Makerbot or RepRap, you run into problems when printing objects that have large overhangs or bridges within your model. Earlier last year Thingiverse user Tony Buser has printed a model uses polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a support material. 3DPPVD discovered the HIPS filament can be a new dissolvable support material. (Images credit: 3dppvd.org) I made my prints with a Makerbot Replicator 1 with two extruders. Thanks to Ken Cassetti for the tip!
