Looking into getting a 3d printer. Will the ender3 pro handle the materials needed to print tough eskate parts or should I spend more for a Prusa mk3?
Any other reccomendations?
i can print petg on my ender 3 pro
@justbarno
it’s pretty good for enclosures, if you want the best you should use nylon but that requires higher temps
if you’re a rich boy you could use PEEK xd but i wouldn’t recommend that
i made enclosure out of nylon 230 on my ender 3 pro, it’s a low temp nylon but it’s a bit too flexible i think but it’ll work for me

I print alloy 910(htd), cf polycarbonate, petg, pla, and TPU with less than $100 in mods in my ender 3. Pretty sure the pro version can too.

Do you need to put a little piece of ptfe tube in the hotend?
Does anyone have a file for a 10mm bore 3mm keyway htd5m 15mm motor pulley?
I created this gear drive for trampa trucks
6374 motors and 107mm flywheels
The ratio is 12/30
If it holds up ill post the files

it’s best to print them ou of nylon
im using polymide and fillamentum cf15
this works best for me
but you need a warm enclosure for your printer to avoid warping

I just found out that skate tools work on MK10 nozzles 
Edit: Its a little loose but I think you would strip the heater block out before the nozzle.
Might be too late but those are the ones I use and are great. Adding an m8 for brake hole will make it perfect.
Had my first rides yesterday sone steep hills up and down with breaking tests.
I needed to glue the motor mounts to the axle with kbweld because there was little movement at breaking hard which caused the cans to get pushed towards the trampa trucks => the cans touched the trucks slightly
After gluing them on and fastening the adjustment screws again theres absolutely no wobble any more
Its holding up so far im really impressed

The gear ratio is 12/30 => 1/2.5 with 107mm flywheels
