American football, cricket and baseball all fall into the category of sports where the play doesn’t matter, the point is to have a vague event around which you can base your day long piss up.

Yep sorry and @MauveMaverick correct

On the other hand football (soccer)…

is there any fancy filament that could print operational motor mounts?

Peek, but you won’t be able to print it and it’s crazy expensive.

Imo it’s not worth looking at, even if you did find something that would work it will end up quicker and cheaper just to get some Alu plates cnc’ed.

ah right. thanks for the knowledge :+1:

its hard to supress the dream of doing it, but since only one person on here has done it, (successfuly), it was only for a small/low powered build…(using PETG tho :flushed: )…prob will give it a miss

…though, considering he was successful with PETG, i do wonder how Taulman 910 or NylonX would fare?

I haven’t read much about PEEK, is it really that crazy?

That one guy in my sidewinder thread said his mods would make his printer capable of it

For the hot end e3d sells one for 500 degrees and it costs 50£
Dunno what other requirements but for the 400c that’s not to expensive

When a kilo of filament is worth more than £600, anyone that’s printing with this stuff isn’t going to be using a desktop printer :joy:

The printer they suggest to print it with can do a print CHAMBER temperature of 225C :scream:

That’s insane

Didn’t realise it was that expensive

How does its strength compare to nylon and carbon fibre?

Google it fam, obviously none of us are printing this lmao

I realised that much just interested in it

At the point where you need a 15k printer and 600£ filament just get metal printer
