I wanted to know, if the Bambulab PLA-CF is stronger than my eSUN PLA+ and my ERYONE PETG filament.
So I created this simple test, where you can see, how much weight the filament can hold before it bends/breaks.
- Print with 100% infill
- Clamp the flat side of the test print to you table (exactly to the middle line)
- Hang a bucket to the other side with the vertical holder
- Fill the bucket with weight of your choice (I choose 0,5l water bottles)
- See, when it starts to bend or break
My personal result was: Bambulab PLA-CF is - despite having carbon fibers in the filament - much weaker than PLA+ from eSUN. PETG from ERYONE is about the same as PLA+ from eSUN.
I would be happy to see your results! :)
