Testing the Tensile Strength of Printed 3D Printer Filament

  • 6 years ago
********UPDATE********\r
Check out my other videos, where one by one Im testing each filament in depth to really dial in the strength of each one. Im already getting better numbers than Im getting here and as soon as I finish them all, Ill redo this video with all the new settings. Coming soon!\r

I just wanted to do a simple video of testing various printer filaments I have at home. That the PLA held up the best and the Nylon 910 not as well was the opposite of what I expected, which made the results all that more interesting. If there seems to be any interest, I might do a couple other videos testing torsion or compression and of other filaments I might buy in the future, like PC (polycarbonate), Ninjaflex, TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), etc.\r
