Hello Everyone. Hope everyone is doing well. I am new to this forum and I would like to hear your suggestions on a question that I have on 3d printed materials. I am trying to build a custom solenoid and based on my research the most suggestion for the solenoid core is electrical steel. I was planning to 3d print the core due to some design considerations. I was wondering if there are any other alternatives in the 3d printing materials list which has a high permeability and stress loading capacity similar to Steel. 

 

Thank you. Stay safe and have a great day!!

    Hi @vishaish, thank you for your post and welcome to the community. I needed to check with one of our product experts to see which material would best suit your needs, and we have a few materials you could check out. 

     

    • Ultrafuse 316L. Not the most effortless or affordable materials among the others, but the only real solution if you want to print with steel. 
    • PC. A material like PC is known to be very strong and could potentially provide you with loading capacity you are looking for. 
    • Carbon fiber Nylon. A material with carbon fiber usually has good conductivity and is rather stiff. 
    • PC-ABS also contains conductive additives which provide it with good conductivity and also has a high toughness and impact strength.

    Good luck, and let us know how it goes and if you have any further questions!

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
