ahh you beat me to it
Stay away from from fancy filliment that scratch and sniff glitter rainbow filliment will fuck your shit up. I tried carbon filled filliment it just clogged my hotend.

yes, that stuff is very abrasive and requires hardened nozzles (ruby nozzles are legit).
You don’t know what you don’t know that’s why I am happy to pay you to print me some extenders. Only I don’t have a mountain board…yet watch this space. No not this space.
This looks awesome quality, mine looks like crap in my frank printer
Thanks @Andy87, if lots of people seems interested no worries in selling these, I will only ask to put the link to thingverse on the first post so people know that is an open design and they can print themselves if they can or can’t get this nice quality at home

I would suggest to print these in Alloy 910( $35 for half a kilo). You don’t need CF infused Nylon. I am saying this with my experience of printing and using 3D printed pulleys, pneumatic wheel hubs in PLA, PETG, ABS and Alloy 910.
CF infusion actually just increases stiffness not strength, in fact it reduces tensile strength. You can look for loads of test done by famous 3D printing youtubers.

Get in touch with https://www.formtech.co.nz for high tech filament and hardened nozzles. Seen some really neat and strong parts made out of that CF-PLA.
Exactly the filament I intended to use for any structural prints like these. 
Do you have recommended printing settings?
Is carbon reinforced nylon good for absorbing impact?

Nylon is, and Carbon to an extent. Best to look up the properties of the filament though, it’ll be a bit of a mashup of each material’s capabilities.
Nylon is known for its toughness, so for parts like this with a fair bit of load it is perfect.
…as well as for press fit wheel pulleys which this 3D printing is just perfect. Nylon pulleys with carbon fibers …and you’ll be ready for the end of the world.

absolutely. Nylon is known for its toughness and impact absorption. There are plenty of material comparison videos where you can see the qualities of materials. The carbon adds rigidity.

hey nacho, think about this… I need a mold CNC routed to press board decks against. The deck:
nominal dimensions for the mold 48" long 12" wide minimum 2" thick
If you’re interested in the project and can give me bro pricing sling me a PM I’ll probably be able to give you a complete CAD file at the end of the month…
what file format does your CNC router prefer?

Yeh I should be able to do it. New larger format CNC is almost done being built. Bro pricing as always .
File wise, a step file is the best

Idk if this is an actual acronym for it’s material, but I always read this a little differently…

koolio… let me know when your router will be ready for prime time, and Show us an actual part your router can produce on complex shapes, especially surface quality!
This mold will be a One off part probably, but if I decide on producing this deck I’m going to need say 10x or more of the high-density foam core and stiffening spars…
Note: this is mostly for science, and not a money-making endeavor, so I’ll definitely need BRO pricing!!
Maybe we can work out a deal where if’n when I go into production you can get a percentage of the sale… you know entrepreneurship and all that!!
