Say Goodbye to Old Filaments - Meet the Game-Changer of 3D Printing!

[@Hotwire_RCTrix]

48% stronger and 1000% more expensive. Just use TPU for the bumpers everyone.🤨

[@greenman360]

Yep. Harder TPU, like 72D or something is pretty indestructible.

[@JimMassey-g7z]

That's the trouble with reviews from people who didn't pay for the filament. He's not wrong that the filament is great for scenarios that it's most suitable for, but the fact that it's ridiculous for situations where ABS or ASA (or even PLA/PETG) would just as well. It's pretty incredible material. For the price, however, it still niche. I'll be glad to start seeing comparison between this new filament and other 'engineering' materials like PA6/PA12 (GF and CF reinforced), since they are all around the same price, give or take.

[@Hotwire_RCTrix]

Race drones have been using TPU for years. As long as your printer has a direct drive extruder it's easy to use.

[@antonkukoba3378]

@@Hotwire_RCTrix there's probably no mainstream printer built after 2023 which can't print TPU

[@Hotwire_RCTrix]

@@antonkukoba3378 Thanks but I still wouldn't use a printer with a Bowden tube for printing a softer TPU.

[@JThelen1031]

Goodbye to old filaments? Not at $200 per kg it's not. It's certainly an interesting material, but I'd rather stick with some type of fiber-reinforced filament given the price.

[@Sharpevil]

Does fiber reinforcement actually make pieces any stronger, though? My understanding is that the carbon fiber is chopped far too short to provide any real strength, which normally comes from many long parallel stands of carbon fiber. Instead, the carbon fiber adds stiffness and dimensional stability.

[@eighty-eighth_section]

​@@SharpevilYes, it does. Stiffness/modulus is one measurement of strength.

[@jimmanis6717]

Having it print at a different orientation would minimize the tip breakage seen. What you had was layer separation, I know you probably did it standing up to allow it to print without supports but canting it to a 45-degree angle or such would eliminate the layers running along fracture angles.

[@TheSolongsidekick]

@@helli3088 Uhh maybe, go look for it, seems like the thing there would be a billion variants and similar designs out there. But I still wouldn't print it with an FDM printer if you can avoid it, a tough resin like Blu with like 10% flex resin mixed is going to be exponentially stronger. No layers to potentially delaminate and way more watertight as well. You can get good resin printers for under 500 bucks these days.

[@BramCohen]

It seems like a fairly typical nylon with the exception that it legit has better bending modulus than PLA. The big questions are related to that: How toxic is it? How much of a pain is it to dry? How much does it tend to creep?

[@PirateWasHere]

carbon fiber in it , is like asbestos, no thanks

[@GeddyRC]

For $100/0.75kg it’s got to justify the price of printing parts you’d normally buy. While a gear is a good strength test to a degree, you’d really need to run it for many long hours before concluding if it’s as strong as a regular composite gear which would probably cost between $4-8 depending on the vehicle. The fact that it doesn’t implode immediately does make it test better than other common filaments but still, $100 and it needs to print enough parts (and be at least as strong as them) to outweigh the cost of just buying replacement parts. Very interesting nonetheless, I’d be curious to see how it works with parts like a-arms, wing mounts, but still those parts are usually pretty cheap (or, you print them in high infill TPU and they’re indestructible). Bit of a brain dump this morning, haven’t had my coffee yet.. I like that the industry is experimenting with different materials, trying to find optimal use cases for them all while keeping the price cheaper or at least on price parity with injection molded composite parts is what we’ll figure out in time.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I like that there are always new innovations with 3D printing, regardless of the hobby! I agree, it's not cheap, but in the long term- if everyone had a 3D printer- we could (in the future) probably print our own replacement parts for things that would normally end up in the landfill. Maybe I watched too much Star Trek Next Generation in my youth, but those replicators were amazing!

[@Noxoreos]

I would argue that you would not just print every piece out of this material. The best comparison would be if you have a use case where you actually want a metal part and this material may be used instead. Getting the required part 5-Axis-CNC machined would be much more expensive. The requirements of the project tell you what you need and to stay cost effective it is a good idea to choose a suitable material. If you don't need the stiffness and impact strength or heat resistance then it's just the wrong material. But if you do then you do then it is nice to have. Also no one says that the whole part needs to be printed of this material. Lets say you need that heat resistance because it contacts with a heated part, then you could just create an interfacing piece from this material and the rest from something cheaper.

[@mikeruiz8855]

That boat was insane! This was nice to see as I just had a bumper printed by a friend who did it in PLA and just leaning with weight broke it so good to see other filaments with high strength out there, I’m new to this and so is my friend who printed the part 😂

[@guruthossindarin3563]

I make some extremely high-impact parts and might give this material a try. That said, I wonder if you have tried PETG-CF. PETG is stringy and flimsy, but has excellent layer adhesion. CF of course is very stiff and strong. When paired together it makes a very strong combination that is stiff but resiliant, easy to print, and doesn't string. Not as high-temp as PA of course, but better than PLA. Cost $46/kg.

[@jeffmackovitch9987]

[@caledoncrawlersrc2216]

Ohhhh very nice! Definitely looks stronger! I would imagine if we also print in higher infill it would withstand even more right? Love that you can print out spur gears and bumpers too!!

[@DirtyShirt1914]

In fdm, perimeters matter more than infill for strength according to tests. Even maxing out perimeters for a solid print can be stronger and take less time printing than 100% infill.

[@soma_rc]

Avoiding cf filaments here for now. These chopped fibers are very small and not always well encapsulated in the final print. Not convinced there are no health issues. Further tests show little improvement over the base material properties.

[@conorstewart2214]

There is also no evidence f any real health issues either. How were you testing the material? Holding the same print in both a fibre filled and non filled material you can clearly tell a difference in most cases.

The filament is PPA-CF - a carbon filled nylon. $150 per kg. Requires a hardened steel nozzle, an enclosed printer and a filament drying set-up. Tensile strength gains are highly dependent on print and filament quality and the best gains are 50% - many videos discuss this.

[@firefly618]

That's impressive. What's more impressive, it looks like we can use it with the cheaper 3D printers too. An AI summary says: "Yes, you can print with PPA-CF using a Bambu Lab A1. Users have successfully reported that the A1 can handle this material effectively, often finding it easier to print than other carbon fiber reinforced filaments like PA12-CF due to reduced warping issues." With the Black Friday sales already started, the A1 is at $300 and the A1 Mini at $200, which makes it very easy to get into printing custom parts!

[@scalebuildersguild]

You need a print bed temp of 100C. And it needs to be in an enclosure. AI may have led you astray here.

Matt, Thanks for being the Grand Poohbah of Gold Level Ding Dongs, this is great information. With that being said, is the finish/texture much different on this PPA-CF than the different versions of PLA? Being a CF based filament, what precautions do you take when shaping for sanding?

You’d want to wear full PPE when sanding, not something I’d do without a full mask and eye protection.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Search MJet on CGTrader. As for the price, yes it’s expensive, but if used sparingly on high stress areas, I can see it pay for itself rather quickly. P1S isn’t enclosed and needs to keep some mega high temps to print properly.

[@rcpimp6419]

[@eighty-eighth_section]

It's actually only $100 per 750 g spool right now. The P1S is enclosed and supported, as long as you use a hardened nozzle and hardened extruder.

[@eighty-eighth_section]

Taken straight from the product page: "Bambu PPA-CF is compatible with P1S, X1C, and X1E printers, requiring only an enclosure and a hardened steel nozzle. This filament is easier to use than you might think, printing smoothly at nozzle temperatures between 280°C and 310°C. Expand your possibilities with Bambu PPA-CF."

[@rowndo]

@@eighty-eighth_section That's what I thought. P1s is the same printer without the AI detection, camera and the screen. I will give it a try. Pretty sure my other 3d Printer can print it, a Flashforge 5M Pro.

[@Brocknoviatch]

Polycarbonate or PC is the strongest best value for money filament. Downside is it requiring an enclosure. PC CF overcomes this and is easier to print, but its layer adhesion isn’t as good as straight PC. Also not sure I want to use Fibre filaments after watching Nathan Builds Robots video on the topic.

[@bbc92314]

You should not listen to someone that doesn’t understand nano tubes versus ground up cf. next pc has nothing on ppa. Some of these comments are mind blowing .

[@Noxoreos]

You could try to print every other layer with PC-CF and the others with normal PC. Maybe that improves layer bonding. I wish there was such a setting in orca slicer, but you can do this via custom color changes after each layer in orca slicer. It's just an idea, i have not tested it myself, yet.

[@Brocknoviatch]

@@bbc92314 If you are going on pure performance PPA CF is great, but that is not what I said. I was pointing out that PC has great price/performance. $209 USD for a role, is no longer a hobby grade filament.

[@bradleyliebl2931]

Good video! Just wanted to add watch CNC Kitchen and My Tech Fun as they will give you insights to the strengths of each filament, PLA is one if not the strongest you can get however its impact strength is lower and in your case friction heat is way to low as PLA does not like to rub on other materials, but it will out hold better than any other filament under certain conditions temp and high load for extended times is not one of them. Another thing to think about is larger layer lines and an extra 10-15 degrees past normal printing also will add strength by better adhesion between layers but visual quality drops off. Its great they are really pushing what is possible with FDM printing.

[@conorstewart2214]

PLA is “strong” but it really doesn’t come close to filaments like these especially when you take into account the other mechanical properties too. When printing things like gears then visual quality matters, any imperfection that you can see will likely be a surface imperfection that will effect friction or wear or how the gears mesh together.

Sweet material, I love new engineering materials to test out. The price comes with quality filament, its expensive but usually worth it depending on your application. Heads up on printing gears with carbon fiber material, you may end up with excessive or premature wearing of that gear (more likely whatever its touching) because carbon fiber is abrasive so it will essentially grind away at whatever gear its up against. A normal Pa6 or Pa12 would probably work better for the long run, in my experience.

Nice video and content, thanks for such a good video and your thoughts about the new PPA-CF. My thoughts: Spur gear on a crawler is a good test to begin with, however not really a great test of the filament. I suggest that you print a spur. gear for a 1/8 scale electric off-road 4WD buggy which can run a 4S or a 6S LiPo and run the buggy on top speed and see how well does the spur gear really holds up. Cause that would really put a huge amount of stress on the gear and material and if the spur gear still holds up well by the time a 6000mAh battery is down to empty from full, then it would definitely be called a GAME CHANGING material and can be used for replacement of parts for RC cars.

But if i could just print a new pinion that would for sure be game changing. not to mention scale down a 3d printable drift cars and make a full Ackerman 1/24 rwd drift car that will accept mini-z bodies. or 3d print your own micro comp crawler chassis to build something unique. Like I get where people say the cost prohibits the "game changer" title. But looking at it from the big picture it truly does open a whole new world of options for us builder types that "wished they made X for Z" but its simply not on the market. I could literally design and print my own prototype for testing in a cheaper filament and then do a final print in the PPACF and have a way more durable part as a finished product with out all the extra material used in prototyping for said part that doesn't exist... yet for some reason i need it?? lol I'm with ya, this is some game changing stuff for sure!

Matt you should tune for that filament, it looks like your over extruding. spur gear would prob benefit allot

[@scalebuildersguild]

Yes I should have dried it more, but was anxious to get the prints out!

[@RandomStuffGarage619]

Ok now the sound of that spur has me wondering if anyone has any spur gear prints that purposely "tune" the audio of the gear noise? 😮 Could be a "game changer" for my scale AE86 build!

I love my PETG-CF.

I would highly recommend downloading the Supersprint v0.4 for the jet boat. I also built out the original and have since switch to the updated version and it is significantly better :)

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for the tip!

Great video Matt

Thanks!

Great video, thank you! Do you do anything in your workshop to combat the fumes from 3D printing? Thanks in advance.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I typically don’t stay in the same room as my printer, and I have an exhaust fan that exhausts to the outside. VOC’s and fumes from PLA aren’t as bad as other filaments.
