3D Printing Carbon Fibre Nylon on a STOCK Ender 3 Pro - Can it be done??? (okay, almost stock....)

[@TheIamgibbo]

[@MakingforMotorsport]

Excellent! Just got the manifold on and it works but not fully tested yet (no events in lockdown 😡), but plenty of other good stuff to make planned! What car do you race?

[@TheIamgibbo]

@@MakingforMotorsport got a k11 micra that I've got a 1.6 from a pulsar (in Australia) to go in it for motorkhanas/autotests. Very much a maximum speed, minimum bucks build Look forward to seeing more of your build too

[@MakingforMotorsport]

1600? That’ll go well, I had a 1400cc for a few months a while back, it went well until aerodynamics force take over, but off the line and up to 45-60mph it was fairly rapid... best of luck with the build!

[@TheIamgibbo]

@@MakingforMotorsport thanks! We got the 1.6 with 115bhp over down under, which should be an improvement on the standard Micra at 74bhp. Supposedly it bolts up to the gearbox and only needs a small notch in the frame rail for water pump clearance. I'd love to put throttle bodies on it or even some boost, but I'll get it running standard first and then start messing with it. Should go pretty well

I have a different (similar) printer and setup, but I used the same settings that you recommended and my first print with this filament also came out great! Super helpful and time saving so I don't have to fiddle with settings forever. Thank you!

[@saltysteel3996]

If you have an all metal hotend, run Marlin and set the max temp higher, then yes. I've been printing this stuff on my Ender 3 for awhile. It really likes 270C for proper layer adhesion and keep it dry. Using a textured glass bed with glue stick. I recommend always using a raft because this stuff is hard to pull off the bed, the raft makes it much easier to remove.

[@MakingforMotorsport]

I’d agree a bit more heat will help but I wanted to stick to the stock main board with just a couple of mods, anyone who can assemble an Ender 3 can do the mods I have here, flashing the board or changing it is a completely different level of mod. ... which I totally plan to do!!! Want to do some PC and others (in silence) so a SKR turbo board and an enclosure are on the list, watch this space!

You may want to redial your retraction distance. 2.5 mm is realistically too low. I'd suggest something around 4-5 mm.

[@MakingforMotorsport]

Yeah, thanks for the comment, since I did this video I haven’t done a lot in this material but I plan it up it as you say but I don’t get much stringing so it works as a base setting. The reason it was 2.5mm is I had bad clogging with this hot end on other materials with my standard 4mm (I did a vid on that), that said Nylon with the higher glass temp can probably stand it.

[@maximilianlindner]

@@MakingforMotorsport If you don't get much stringing, then there's no need to change it as well :) I just thought, that the "rough" bits on the right side of your benchy could be improved that way. Incredibly interesting topic nontheless.

Yeah, it’s the blobbing that I am thinking about, I still get that. I get less with lower temps but I want the strength from the high temps... I guess things like this are never finished.... always something to improve and try!

I failed to mention that I use a Raise3D pro2 though I do have an ender 3( which is why I watched the video) I had not thought of keeping the electronics out. I imagine it would be beneficial.

Hi MfM, Looking to 3D Print a hose piece to allow a standard radiator from one car to work with another, it's something of a T-piece to have coolant feed into the turbo instead of just straight into the block. Thinking of buying Polycarbonate or the Filament you used in this video, but leaving this comment to ask for your opinion with material as the T-Piece will be brought up to temp rather quick and with it being a pressurized I'm wondering if PC or what not would be up to it. Great content anyway, think it's a fantastic niche that you've made and has endless possibility in my opinion.

I'm highly skeptical about carbon fiber filament. Carbon gets it's strength from it's long threads and chopped carbon kind of defeats it's purpose.

[@MakingforMotorsport]

It’s nowhere near as strong as proper CF, or even injection moulded PA-GF, but the small fibres do a great job of resisting warping during printing and aren’t affected by heat so there is less of a drop off at elevated temps… If you are expecting full blow CF… you ain’t getting it… mildly improved verses none CF filament… yes 👍

Great question… short answer yes. A low quality hot end will make PLA printing very stringy and/or prone to clogging (so much so I made a video about stopping clogging!) and even a high quality one like an E3D V6 (like the Prusa mk3) needs to be tuned well to work effectively, it can be done definitely but it’s a downside of going all metal which is rarely discussed!

I've been hesitant about trying CF-filament due to carbon fiber particles being about as dangerous as asbestos. I am no scientist but I have read multiple articles about 3d printing with CF releases airborne particles. Also, there are tests that show CF-filament not being stronger than other kinds of filaments. I use nylon, polycarbonate and sometimes ASA for my car parts.

Nylon is hygroscopic so it will pull in water from the Air, but this isn't submerged so it's not too bad, and it does changes it's properties slightly, and whilst I believe 3D prints are more suseptable to this that injection moulded, as long as you're not right on the edge it shouldn't affect it. It doesn't seem to affect all the rest of the Nylon I have in my life.....

[@michaelguerra3092]

Anybody knows if PC filament printing is toxi for the airways?, I mean meanwhile the Ender is printing next to me, and I'm in my computer

[@Franco-Zana]

why you dont use de cool fan?

[@MakingforMotorsport]

Nylon is very prone to warping just like ABS, so on thin parts (or just early in prints) you want to avoid it, and if you can print without it then that’s ideal…

Where did you buy that filament? I'm trying to find it but no luck for now. Other brands seem to be way more expensive :(

Amazon mate, it was about £55... but it’s not cheap at all!

Got acouple things first this isn't a stock printer so please don't say it is. And second why do you keep saying 255 was the temp when it was 235???

[@MakingforMotorsport]

Yeah, the stock thing is abit of a stretch so sorry if I deceived you... where was the 235deg piece? I did the test at a range but I use 255 for this filament as a standard....

[@124thDragoon]

@@MakingforMotorsport He didn't actually absorb what you were saying and showing at the 5:39 mark - that you didn't follow the exact temperatures printed on the test piece. He thought you were following the 220, 225, 230, etc steps as printed on the actual model.

Aaahhh.... that makes a lot more sense now! Guess I could’ve been clearer... thanks for the translation!

@@MakingforMotorsport What size nozzle are you using I have the exact set up and I’m having horrible problems with clogging I am using Hardened steel 4 mm nozzle

[@MakingforMotorsport]

I am using a 0.4mm nozzle, but I don’t think that’ll be your problem... things I do now... 1. Double check your nozzle is tight when hot, always do the final tighten when hot 2. I would do a small test print without retraction - if you still get clogging or the extruder skipping it’s likely you have too much flow and your e-steps need calibrating. Tune the flow down to prove this 3. If no retraction solves ur problem then you had the same issue as me so follow my steps and then slowly increase the setting. 4. Other things I did was remove the retention screws to help Other people have suggested printing slower aswell as that will also slow the filament flow. I solved it, so can you!!! Best of luck 👍

[@markh2005]

Is the CF nylon filament fuel proof please?

[@MakingforMotorsport]

I am finding that out at the moment, nylon generally is but to be sure I have a sample marinated in petrol now and we’ll see what a couple of weeks does to it!

[@SendItStephen]

What mods to an ender 3 would you recommend for printing with carbon based filaments?

[@MakingforMotorsport]

The Carbon filaments really just need a hardened nozzle, CF-PLA for example, it’s more about the plastic, but everything to do CF-Nylon is in the video👍

[@jamiewilliams1396]

can you print faster than 50mm/s ? i tend to print at 150 with abs and pla, just about to switch to this same material and was hoping to keep up the same speed?

[@MakingforMotorsport]

I'd say it depends on the printer.... and your priorities. My Ender 3 is never gonna be a speed machine, and it's not a commercial enterprise so I don't mind waiting for a few hours longer....

[@MakingforMotorsport]

Its plenty strong but it’s not particularly stiff, so just a 3mm thick plate isn’t likely to be particularly stiff but that may not bother you. I got it on Amazon, it pops up every so often and can go off quick

There's nothing "almost stock" once you install an all metal hot end. The only way it could be less stock, would be to make it direct drive. Click bait.

[@alessiocarlevaro6934]

Nvm found it haha!

[@MakingforMotorsport]

I don’t think that the Ender 3 is the “best” printer for this material, something with an all metal hot end and higher temps as standard would be better an enclosure would be ideal... but that is probably a $800 printer.... (I buy cars for less than that 😂)
