    Thanks! Any specific extruder diameter to be used with this filament?

    If you're going for glass/carbon fiber, be sure to use the .6mm CC core. It's a thick line compared to .4, but it will increase strength a bit. And the CC core will be able to handle these abrasive materials very well. Use a regular AA core and your .4 will be a .6 quite soon....

    Lema Green Cargo scale H0 (1:87)

    First attempt.

    UM3

    Latest firmware, latest Cura

    Tough PLA

    0,25 AA core (default profile) except support, changed to 10%.

    I think 8% will be better 

     

    Nice! Do you have an undercarriage with electronics and motor already?

     

    Anyway, here's a print from my side. It's actually one print.

    Wooden parts: 0.8mm PLA with Natural Wood 

    "Metal" parts: .25 nozzle, Tough PLA. 

     

    All the parts were printed on one S5 plate with dual extrusion. So you basically print a DIY model kit. It's 12cm long like this. 🙂

  3. Hi Maurosacchi. Personally, I would be looking at PP with glass/carbon fiber. Extremely strong and PP works well with liquids. Make sure when you print that the z seam alignment is at random. And I would also print it with 100% infill. Final version anyway.

     

    If you do want to go for PP, make sure you use the adhesionsheet and/or pp-adhesion from Magigoo. Those are the only adhesion solutions which worked for me when I used PP with GF (30%): XSTRAND™ GF30-PP (Polypropylene + Glass Fiber) (crea3d.com)

     

    Sounds like a very interesting project, SandervG forwarded this thread to me. :)
