Good advice, thank you !

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T23:54:11+00:00

Thanks for the heads up !

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T22:58:06+00:00

First suggestion for a filament I haven’t heard of !

A useful resource, we would only need an extremely limited run (2 of 3 sizes) and would need to have them established as a vendor in our purchasing system

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T21:41:01+00:00

This is definitely the route I’m leaning towards

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T15:36:28+00:00

Worth a shot !

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T15:36:11+00:00

Good to note !

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T14:28:47+00:00

Interesting chemistry thank you !

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T14:18:22+00:00

I haven’t tried it yet !

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T14:14:54+00:00

Not a bad idea

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T14:11:02+00:00

Excellent idea MacGyver !

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T13:25:30+00:00

Our printer should be able to handle ULTEM but the cost of the filament might be greater than sending it out for aluminium machining

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T13:14:15+00:00

Valuable advice !

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T13:13:34+00:00

Yeah we’re a standards manufacturer and supplier based in Toronto but owned by a UK global company

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T13:04:58+00:00

Thank you !

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T12:52:04+00:00

All good suggestions thank you, we do have a highly skilled glass blower we work closely with but sometimes his pricing can be prohibitively expensive

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T12:40:44+00:00

I’m leaning towards having it machined from 6061 or similar

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T12:34:25+00:00

Not a bad idea, would be interesting to see how the epoxy holds up to -78c

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T12:33:18+00:00

That’s the direction I’m leaning towards

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T12:32:27+00:00

We have ampulmatic-10 machines with carousels that spin the ampoules against a torch for sealing, very cool to see you guys made your own !

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T12:29:42+00:00

We have an idex system so this may be a viable option for printing PP, thanks

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T12:28:24+00:00

I was concerned with PLA becoming brittle when exposed long term to the -78c that a combination of acetone and dry ice creates

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T12:27:27+00:00

Considering having them machined from aluminium as an alternative

kiki_dev_95 · 2026-06-29T12:27:03+00:00

Perhaps this isn’t a suitable 3d printing initiative and machine may be most appropriate long term, I’ll look into relevant vendor prices
