3D Printing Material?

I'm excited to try Bambu's new PPA-CF this winter. It's expensive, but it looks SOLID

Yeah, I got a bit of sticker shock on that one. I thought the $40-$50 filaments were high. Lol

Not sure what I'd even want to try printing with the ppa-cf

For a skid plate POM would be my choice.

Machining it, sure.

3D printing it? There are many other forms of torture that I'd rather subject myself to.

POM isn't that difficult to print but each to their own

Just got some Sunlu PLA + 2.0 but haven't printed anything substantial with it. I most print scale accessories

The ordinary pla filament material is more environmentally friendly, but it is not particularly strong; you can use the metallic pla filament material, which is much stronger.

I used Hatchbox PLA for the chassis-rails and skidplate that I'm using for this Crawler. I've been running the hell out of it in my backyard as it's kinda fast to crawl with and I am amazed at how tough it is.

For reference, I used this model from Thingiverse - 2.2 crawler chassis and skid plate by steve83.

I'm planning to make more of them and the only thing I'm planning to change is to print the rails slightly thicker. This is 3.3mm now, and I'd prefer to make it 4mm. Oh - and I'd also delete the extra holes once you've figured out where you want to mount things to.
