[experience with printing in PVC?]

@SandervG: Thank you, but I cannot find the type of stainless steel used on their website. My guess is that A2 and 303 are enough corrosion resistant, but I know that not all stainless steels are suitable for processing PVC in injection moulding.

 

@geert_2: Good point: the little material on the outside of the nozzle may have material degradation/corrosion. Fortunately it is normally only a little bit of material.

 

Does anyone know what metal is used for the fan duct? It is (a bit) magnetic, so it could be stainless? Or is it a zinc plated steel?

what are my options for stainless steel nozzles on my Ultimaker 2 extended+ for processing PVC?

Does any M6 threaded stainless steel nozzle work/fit?

 

for example:

I see tips from A2 and 303 stainless steel. Are there any other nozzle options in stainless steel?

@geert_2: I intend to melt PVC, not burn it.? I know processing PVC has its difficulties, that is why only few injection moulders dare to process it...

Speaking of which: is there a (detailed) list of what components are made from what material? Especially in/near the extruder?

Processing PVC can cause corrosion easily...

 

@P3D: I already contacted the supplier in Germany, but I thought maybe someone else here has tried it already.

 

Thank you both for your replies/ suggestions.

Hello all,

 

I read some articles on the internet that there are some companies making PVC filament. I work for an injection moulder, and we also process PVC for series production. Making 3D prints in real PVC may be extra interesting for our clients.

I was wondering if anyone here has experience with PVC filament on an Ultimaker (or maybe on other printers)?
