well hey it's Joel 3d printing nerd and
this is the precise remark to 3d printer
I reviewed this thing and said it was
really awesome
better than sliced bread what you see in
front of me here are the makers muse
twisted lattice cube thing models and
it's printing one on the proof set right
here in fact these are cool little
models that Angus over at makers Muse
made as a way to torture the printer of
course it doesn't torture it nearly
enough because the proofs of machine
prints this quite well there's a little
bit of stringing that happens underneath
but that's not the point of this video
my goodness the point of this video is
to test the strength of the poly Max
filament so this white one was printed
with a I can't remember just white PLA
the green one was printed with color fab
PLA PHA and I threw this filament on the
Prusa to test the build TAC flex plate
system so on a whim when this was in the
garage I thought he what would happen if
I stepped on one of these and I thought
to myself I should record this so
knowing that this is poly max PLA
filament it's supposed to be stronger
than standard PLA filament so I'm
wondering what will happen if I step on
these so here's what's gonna happen we
have the rx100 mark v or V and we're
gonna focus that on the model and my
shoe and the eventual hopefully massive
failure that's about to happen and Josh
behind the camera hi Josh
Josh will actually take the camera that
you're staring at me in right now and
move it back a little bit so that you
can take in the entirety of the
horribleness that's about to take place
so okay we're gonna break we're gonna
move some cameras we'll be right back
and it's gonna be awesome
two hours later all right there we go so
now we've got a camera angle that can
see all of me and then we have a camera
angle right here that can see my feet
first up is the color fab PLA PHA it's
slightly not complete at the top because
I shut off the printer when I was
printing it before let's see what
happens I'm a little scared I'm not
gonna lie
okay I think I stepped on the side of it
does that what happened oh it broke uh
okay broke right there
broke right there well let's see if I
can't do that again maybe I can maybe I
can okay oh I stepped on it and then and
then and then I I did a slight bounce
just just a little bounce and we had I
would consider this to be a catastrophic
failure of the part what Josh is telling
me off to the sidelines is that I was
using this as a way to steady myself and
once I took my hand off of that with the
full Joel on the model it failed
catastrophic ly we got a poly max hero
on one here we got a poly max one here
there we go I had my words mixed up it's
really weird you make sure this is in
camera view
this so Paulie max filament is supposed
to be a little bit stronger which I
would assume be able to handle the full
Joel
hashtag full Joel here we go alright ah
[Music]
it broke okay so it broke off to the
side but it's not fully broken so this
is it didn't come flying off okay I just
got a step right I guess okay I bounced
on it I bounced not a little bit all
right I guess let's try it one more time
it keeps rolling over alright so here's
here's kinda what's going on it's kind
of folded over all sides so it's
inconclusive thankfully we have another
Center I'm trying to put all of my
weight on it but it's a very fine point
and I'm okay here we go
okay I bounced something down a little
bit
you see that that's more than the color
fat PLA PHA can take so according to my
incredibly non-scientific tests the poly
max filament is a little bit stronger a
lot of its stronger than the color fab
PLA PHA do we move up to the big ones
for the test okay we've got two left I
have a can trim member standard PLA and
we have the poly max healing all right
here's the big one maybe it'll be easier
to see it on okay so the standard PLA
makers muse torture cube did not
withstand the full Joule it lasted
longer than the green one longer than
the color fab didn't know because you
didn't even okay but but it is a bigger
model and we don't know how the model
size Thanks thing that's a good point to
make everything crystal clear the big
ones and the small ones were all printed
with the same G code so the color fab
model and the poly max models we're
using the same g code but Holly max
model and the white unnamed peel a model
or using the same G code and it was on
this machine here we go this is the big
poly max one Josh's prediction is that
this will hold but it'll creak a little
bit under the stress of the full Joel I
think it's gonna hold it no problem okay
let me shine Center my way now you see
avenging okay that's okay that's okay
I'm no I'm no circus performer the sides
are bending wait I mean I think you're
right
let's see if I can't do it one more time
I don't see any structural damage other
than the bottom side you know okay there
we go oh I would say that's fair I would
say that's fair
I these the sides still gave out in the
bottom of the mall actually deal and it
but the model itself is still it still
looks good here all right well there we
go
testing at least proved that the poly
max filament was stronger than the PLA
and stronger than the peel APHA from
color fab but as to getting a final
result it's a little inconclusive
because I kept rolling on this point and
I wasn't able to put my full weight on
it whereas on the smaller ones I was
able to alright hold the phone just a
second we have one of these I think we
should do some further destruction
safety first safety first all right so
this is the small one we're just gonna
put in the vise see what happens here we
go
Oh her to crack it's like half its size
but it's not shattering it's more it's
it's bending and I mean it's failing but
it's okay there we go
interesting look at that the model
itself failed but it's still got some
rigidity and some strength in the rest
of it it was it's it's a total failure
but I'm still surprised at how strong
the rest of the model is it did go to
about half its size all right well we
got the big one is this gonna be big
enough yes you ready Josh this is
actually tough to turn
oh I hear some cracking
[Music]
here's some cracking
[Music]
so nothing is failed at this point the
white PLA model was already catastrophic
Lee failed by this point so let's keep
going
I hear cracking but it's not breaking
it's not oh you hear that okay Wow
look at this I heard a crack but look at
it
Wow
so it's bending it's it's cracking there
are there is cracking but it's cracks
down on the bottom oh oh right there
right there okay
[Music]
we got break separation what okay oh
look at that yep all right it literally
broke in one spot all right here's the
miss the white one this one can press
down it broke in one spot and the rest
of it just seemed to folded in let's
let's put this in let's see what happens
we could do it across here ah there you
have it further destruction hopefully
proving some sort of point
I did think that this performed
incredibly well I'm floored by what this
is done right because it didn't there
were some catastrophic failures but it
wasn't it wasn't an explosion it wasn't
snapping into a bunch of pieces it was
bending and contorting and still
maintaining some sort of strength to it
look it completely failed it's
completely squished but I can't pull it
apart cool that was kind of fun I've
always wanted to test some some model
strength this is a way to do it
it's completely not scientific but we
did get to stand on some things and
break them that was fun
all right well it's only appropriate if
