Kraton Wing mount 3d printing

[Darvid]

What material are people using for 3d printing wink mounts

work has a new 3d printer that can do
Range of materials.
Nylon
Carbon fibre
Nylon carbon fibre mix ( very strong not flexible)
Some other hybrid they say is as strong as metal

 

[Absolute RC noob]

Nylon probably best, strong with some flex??

 

[Revomikey]

I have printed some pla and petg wings for my drift rcs, they wouldn't be strong enough for the Kraton though.

What are the pros/cons of the three?

So ended up printing nylon carbon fibre mix
They feel flexible but strong see how they hold up

Unfortunately it's going to break that mix is strong but very brittle

Normally for flexible things its TPU solid infill.

thanks for the input, I probably won’t bother in that case to even use them

Thanks I’m new to 3d printing
We just got a new 3d printer at work that I can use for person items as well

I don’t think they have that one but just order some when it comes in I’ll reprint

I would use a stiff (95A hardness) TPU with 100% infill like elschizo said. It will not break, but it will have some flex.

Regular nylon would work great, but printing nylon is hard (it requires printing from a dry-box because it absorbs moisture so quickly and it warps and pops off the bed if you don't have your temperatures just right. Also requires printing at high temps.

TPU is easier for most of us and 90% as good as nylon.

How would you compare nylon and 95A TPU hardness? I’ve used TPU but have no experience with nylon.

That would depend solely on the nylon make up itself.. but it's far more Ridgid than tpu...

The best of both worlds combined into one is pctpe..

 

[3d-rc.myshopify.com]

Pctpe is a great material. It's one of my favorites

I believe nylon is about 120A shore hardness. So it is quite a bit harder, but it is really tough, just like TPU. It bends without snapping and you can't easily tear it.

I'm not familiar with pctpe, but if it has Camaroboy383's approval I will buy a spool to check it out.
