Update: Tinmorry PETG-GF (glass fiber 2x)

Hello, table updated (attached to this post). Tinmorry PETG-GF.

What's next? (recording is in progress):

• Siraya PPA 3x (I can see, they changed the name in the meantime). According to first results, Core filaments may be the future of good technical filaments.

• AirGradient air monitor (spoiler, so far it couldn't record VOC changes next to 3D printer, still trying)

• Qidi Plus4, review almost finished. Good printer, with few design flaws

Annealing of PLA-CF early access

Hello everyone,

I barely managed to finish my latest video—watch it here: https://youtu.be/5XOqUfmWhig (public on Friday). Unfortunately, I’ve had the flu for over a week now and have almost completely lost my voice. That’s why my voice will sound weird in the next few videos (including this one). I tried AI voice cloning, but it sounded too different, so you’ll hear my sick voice instead.

In the mea...

Update (MatterHackers PLA, 3DO PC, Fiberon PET-CF17)

Hello, the table has been updated (attached to this post). It now includes MatterHackers PLA, 3DO PC, and Fiberon PET-CF17. The video for the last one is ready, but I am still working on the description (link in the table or in Playlists).

There is an important update: I have recorded the average values, which will serve as my reference material for future videos when testing a single filament. These numbers are now fixed and will not be changed. More details in a ...

If I get the prototype, then the prototype will be in the video (Sunlu E2)

Eh, I am so tired of testing prototypes. Then the companies "don't mention this or that, it is fixed in mass production...". If somebody wants to download the table with measured temperatures, it is attached to this post. Sunlu will not like the video, it will be public tomorrow, but early access: https://youtu.be/nLT9q8fQJyk

Other what is in progress (and I already recorded the intro):

• AirGradient (to ch...

Tullomer is tested (table update)

Hello, Tullomer test is finally finished. The updated table is attached to this post. Video will be public this afternoon (CET). Results are the average from test objects printed by 3 different sources, including Z-Polymers (manufacturer). Title is "Love it or Hate it", that's why I have this thumbnail. Is it good enough? Should I try to make it better? Unlisted video link is in the table or in playlists.

Update: PEKK-CF, PEI, PPS, PSU...

Hello, table update. 6 industrial filaments by 3DXTech printed on Prusa Pro HT90 (attached to this post). Video link is in the table (or you can find it in playlists).

Other: Great news: Tullomer printing is in progress, soon I will start the testing. First feeling, one of the strongest in XY direction, but... (very big BUT, and I don't understand why 3D Printing Nerd didn't mentioned it, he have several videos about Tul...

Table update: Qidi PET-GF and PET-CF

Hello Friends!

Happy New Year to everybody. Table is updated (attached to this post), Qidi PET-GF and PET-CF. Pay attention to the Layer adhesion. Video is uploaded (available in Playlists, but you also have the link in the table). Still working on description..

Other: Tullomer filament is here! Also Tullomer test objects printed by other companies and by Z-polymers. I will have my own too, so I will have a lot of test objects.

Also I got objects from PEKK, PEI, .. 6 indus...

PEEK vs PPA-CF results

First of all, thank you all for Your support, without You, this channel would be placed in a stand-by position, You are the real driving force for the MyTechFun.
Have a pleasant Holidays and I wish you all Happy New Year.

PEEK vs PPA-CF video is finished (working on description and subtitles, it will be public in few hours, but those who knows, where to search, they will find it already ;-) . The results are not available for the public, but you can download t...

Table update: Addnorth RigidX and PETG

Hello, recently I finished the testing of AddNorth Rigid X and PETG filaments. The Rigid X is the stiffest PETG filament I tested so far (in bending test). New spreadsheet is attached to this post. Video in few hours (or you can find it even now in 3D printing playlist, I am working on the description..).

I don't think I will have new video before new year (but even now I am working on new ones), but after that I will have some very interesting materials tested.

Thank you for you...

Who is drying the filament in a Microwave?

In the Vevor Analytical Scale review video, I got a lot of comments, to try drying the filament in a Microwave oven. I did. It can speed up the process, but in some cases it can catch fire. Video very soon..

About Tullomer filament

I just finished the online meeting with Z-Polymers. The subject was: Tullomer filament. Before they send me the filament, they want to test it using my test objects. But don't worry, if they decide not to send it to me, I will buy it, because I am curious about it myself (even if it is 500$/kg). I am sure that it has very strong tensile strength (but not stronger than steel as advertised). BUT I am curious about other mechanical properties too.. (my regular ...

Update: Siraya PET-CF, ABS-GF, ASA-GF

Summary table update, 3 Siraya filaments added. PET-CF, ABS-GF, ASA-GF. The PET-CF video will be public on Friday, but early access over this link: https://youtu.be/Y7npttLpcO0

Update: BambuLab TPU for AMS

Summary table update:
- BambuLab TPU for AMS (it is on the second sheet). Video will be public on Sunday (since for today I have one AddNorth video).
- New column is added. I got several request to add bending modulus calculation to it. It is calculated for 1.25 kg load, deformation after 30 seconds. It should be in elasticity zone here in most cases (and I don't have a smaller load for calculation).
- Early access to the TPU for AMS video: 2024-11-29 13:44:54 +0000 UTC View Post

Polymaker PC-ABS testing in progress

Just a small info, I am so excited to share it with somebody, but nobody in my surrounding wants to listen to me (I tried to tell to my wife too, but she sent me to "warmer lands"). First time I was able to print with Polymakers PC-ABS filament (according to specs, it requires heated chamber above 80°C). On Qidi X-Max3 it was printed perfectly, temp tower and all test objects at once. I need approx. 10 days for the testing and for the video. I hope mechanical specs are worth it. Thx for read...
