    Deformation temp Tough PLA

    in Materials & profiles

    Posted

    I need to print 100+ objects that will be attached to led lamps, and these have to be printed in white.

     

    While testing materials I found PLA to have the best final result, without having to perform any work on the printed model, and can be used as is.

     

    The problem that I might encounter is the low temp PLA deforms at, we measured the LED lamp temp at max 33C when burning constant at maximum brightness, and was wondering if Tough PLA also has a higher deformation temp, higher then 33C

     

    I would like to use other materials, but most, like PETG will create some globs/bubbles on the surface, that will hinder the tight fit.

    ABS is also not an option, this would mean the printer would have to run the print bed on high temps (+90C) for a very long time, and we don't want to do that as the reheating would take too long between prints.

    Also a lot of white filaments are more goopy while printing, also creating unwanted globs on the surface.

     

    Maybe somebody has a good idea what material I can use.

    Oop. I used one post to ban the user and remove that one, however I assumed the others (made by a banned user) would automatically become invisible. I should've checked, because obviously this is worse content than your average spam design. :S

     

    Thanks again for noticing...

     

    you still missed one 🙂

    Well, it's not Ultimakers problem, but it's still nasty that it's out there. I'm also not that sure it's illegal to have in the Netherlands though (youtube, for instance, is filled with videos on how to make guns in a home shop). 

     

    And Ultimaker being connected to Youmagine, (not officially, but still)  this is probably not good for business 😕

    when was it sold off ?

    Post your latest print!

    After a long time not posting, here is my first larger print:

     

    This is a Moulinsart TintTin Monochrome bust I wanted to have for some time, but it being a collectors item, very hard to find one for sale,

    so I decided to draw it myself, also to chalange myself. The UM extended barely fitted the head at 8mm to spare ?

     

    Printed in white PLA, 0.2 layers, and is in 2 parts, bottom and head,

    I still need to do some sanding, and hoped to have printed with PETG or ABS for easy sanding, but I still could not get a good result, and am still messing with the settings in Cura.

    after sanding I will paint it as a matt white finish

    Is this the email you used as well? It has a typo in it (youimagine).

    But in a previous message where I informed about YouMagine having the responsibility to remove spam I also suggest to email to hello@youmagine.com instead of support. Did you try this too?

     

    I copy and pasted the email address, and was without the "i" ?

    I'll try the hello@youmagine.com.

    Like you said, I tried to contact Youimagine to report spam, but the " support@youimagine.com" gives a non delivery message ?

     

    end now there is sublininal spam, a copy of an other object posting, with an illegal movie site link added ?

    I strayed from the path, but now have seen the light...again :)

    I started out with the first UM original many..many years ago, and fell in love with Ultimaker,

    but after some experimenting, and rebuild the UM original to a larger format, I decided to build me a much larger printer ?

     

    I choose the FolgerTech FT5 as a basis, and enlarged the whole frame and build area,

    Worked on this for a year or two, and getting ok looking prints, but I was staring to get fed up with the endless tinkering.

    My wife decided my time was up, and decided to buy me an Ultimaker extended plus...!!!

     

    I love my wife ?

     

    So I am back to the UM community after straying from the path, but the light is Ultimaker :LOL
