Link doesn't seem to be working..

I'm interested for a kick ass material for crash tests (base of bindings, top of trucks and hubs

I remember the bad old days of Bennet skateboard truck base plates: they broke so often I gave up on them, and would be wary of using plastic (even injection-molded glass-reinforced nylon like the Bennets) for any truck component. My application is a little less demanding, but I've had to abandon using printed parts for testing.. just not strong enough for safety :(

    I would also think of Taulman Alloy 910 as a very suitable material. Still didn't try it myself, but looking at most reviews and youtube demos, it seems perfect to me for this type of stress.

    Going to weight in since we print functional parts on a weekly basis at work.

    ABS = Durable, impact resistant

    PETG = Flexible, Durable

    Nylon = Strong, Flexible, Durable

    PET = Strong, Flexible, Durable

    PCP = Strong, Flexible, Durable, Heat Resistant

    For your application you will want PETG if you need some flexibility, ABS if you do not. Nylon is a good choice too. Word of advice, PETG does not play well with supports (PITA to remove) unlike ABS.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
