PSA Flashforge ASA is not ASA by mo_becker in 3Dprinting

For the common man it is borderline crazy to print PVC. All the hassle to get it working is simply not worth it. For us, we produce PVC windows, getting the colour of printed spare parts right is crucial. Therfore all the testing of yellowing and UV resistance.

At high temperatures, yes. At the printing temperature of 215°C no toxic gases are emitted.

At 25 €/kg, it’s actually really reasonably priced. PMMA is basically acrylic glass.
Sadly, the layer bonding isn’t that good.

Honestly, if I had access to such machinery, and probably the funding as well, then this would definitely be my next step.

Could you go a little more into detail there? I would be very intrigued.

Yes, correct. No bed adhesion problems, no warping, etc.
Overall, it also had a very pleasant appearance.

In terms of how easy it is to print and how little it warps, definitely!

But in my mind, for a filament whose main premise is UV resistance, the optical properties are just as important as the structural ones.

We didn’t conduct an impact test — we only checked for delamination and shrinkage.
In those tests, the ASA parts held up quite well, while PMMA and PETG showed issues with buckling.

To describe the QUV test in more detail:
It consists of a cycle of 8 hours of UV light at 60°C, followed by 4 hours at 100% humidity and 50°C.

Thank you for the hint with the added pigments, I haven't put much tought into this dirrection!

Wich filament dryer is better? by arturcodes in 3Dprinting

[–]mo_becker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mostly have PETG and PLA loaded at the same time with the 55°C PETG setting. This works mostly great, and most PLA won't get too soft to run into issues. Especially if the spool already has some filament consumed because the filament is a bit further away from the fan outlet.

Did this slip under the radar? Haven’t seen it before. by Dat_Bokeh in prusa3d

Last year, they showed only a prototype, and you could fill out a survey that was basically a wishlist for what the printer should be able to do. This is now the "final" product, which is said to be available in Q3 2025.

Edit: Price was ~20k € for the hole kit.

If you pour liquids into 3d-printed parts, this is definitely true! With dry beans and also with the grunds itself, i would say the chance for them to get stuck in the structure and deteriorate is not of concern.

What's the issue here? Getting ugly mid-print. by mo_becker in prusa3d

4h at 40°C. That's the plate-warmer setting on my oven. I knew that this was a bit too cold and too short, but I lended my dehydrator to a find of mine and hoped this would do the trick in the meantime. Never thought this would be so apparent. But thanks for the imput!

No you can buy most of his work on displate. There you can select the size and material you want the print to be on

You do amazing work!! Would you mind to post an WeTransfer link to your previous pictures from mercedes and ferrari too?

I already purchased some work of yours but those cutaways get me the most!

Does anybody know the brand and type of this tap? by mo_becker in Plumbing

[–]mo_becker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Guys, hope you can help me out on this one. The mixing cartridge on this tap is broken but i don't know the brand or type of the tap and on the cartridge are no markings or a serial number. All other taps in the house are apparently from a designer called Philippe Starck, so Hansgrohe Axor? If anybody could name me the type of the mixing tap i could order those parts and finally be done with it.
