The first successful mechanical print with @ZPolymersInc Tullomer. It's exceptionally rigid and should be functional (even with the minor crack from not fully clearing through-holes). Still needs more tuning but an effective application of lessons from yesterday.

Great article in @All3DP magazine on how TCA portfolio company @ZPolymersInc is lowering tooling costs with its Tullomer 3D printing filament.

@3dprintingnerd introduces Tullomer, watch to see it in action and learn how you can get FREE Tullomer to try it yourself! bit.ly/3AESDcD

Doing some more testing with @ZPolymersInc Tullomer 🙂

Printed one of the Gauntl33t glove finger pieces out of @ZPolymersInc Tullomer 🙂. Printed it at 1/4" thick because unlike aluminum it can't bend and risks snapping at 1/8". Probably should print another one to dip coat in alcohol thinned epoxy to mitigate any delamination that could occur over time. I also want to print the same part out of ABS and PLA to test stiffness against 🤔

Time to try printing @ZPolymersInc Tullomer!!! 😃

Headed back down to the @Steve_Builds studio this afternoon to implement the @E3DOnline #REVO High Temp upgrade on my @Voron_Design TRIDENT 🔱 and get geared up to truly unlock the potential of @ZPolymersInc TULLOMER!
I think we should probably stream the whole ordeal. Who's in?

These #tullomer settings transfer perfectly into @PrusaSlicer without spiral-vase mode
I've learned that the beige color may not be ideal; it sounds like an opaque whiter color is preferable. I'm also starting to better understand the extent of the shear thinning.
As pictured:
0.6mm nozzle
0.75mm width
0.01mm height
280c
180mm/s
strongest print yet?

vase mode, 390mm/s, 50k accel, 0.005mm layer height
~2800 layers, sliced with @PrusaSlicer using the settings gleaned from previous experiments. The brim has increased layer height (0.15mm) to better grip the bed. TBD if the seam is aesthetic or a weak point.

Progress (on the left)! The Tullomer part now withstands repeated, intentional hammer strikes.
600 layers on the left, 200 on the right.
0.2mm width, 0.01mm height, 89% extrusion multiplier, 340/135c, 300mm/s
