Remember the 22RE four-cylinder engine parts we printed last time [3D Printing Product Showcase] ESUN PLA+ Light Blue 3D Printing Material? This time, we used Polymaker PC-Max 3D printing material to print an entire car! Take a look at this exquisite miniature monster truck! If a 3D printed bumper car competition were held today, PC 3D printing material would undoubtedly help you dominate the field. Its superior mechanical strength might even be reason enough to ban it from competition!
Polymaker PC-Max 3D printing material was specially developed for desktop FDM/FFF 3D printers. In addition to excellent printing quality, outstanding mechanical strength, and high heat resistance, it also offers excellent impact strength and fracture toughness, making PC-Max an ideal choice for engineering applications. Compared to other materials with similar rigidity, PC-Max has better toughness than other 3D printing materials, is not brittle, and exhibits better mechanical strength than ABS and PLA in almost all deformation tests.
PC-Max has a heat resistance of up to 110°C, surpassing almost all 3D printing filaments on the market. It won't deform even when boiled in hot water. PC 3D printing material was once only applicable to industrial-grade FDM 3D printers, but PC-Max has significantly lowered this barrier. Its approachable printing temperature and lower shrinkage rate make it easy for desktop 3D printers to use. After printing, it can also be easily post-processed with sandpaper and painted. PolyMaker's production line is very strict, with eight strict control points to ensure the consistency of PC-Max quality and help you successfully complete every print. Below, let's take a look at this miniature monster truck with a suspension system, printed by Ultimaker 2+ using PC-MAX!
Printing Parameters:
Printer used: Ultimaker 2+
Slicing software: Cura 2.1.2
Material used: Polymaker - PC-Max
Layer height: 0.18mm
Printing temperature: 260C
Build plate temperature: 100C
Printing speed: 35mm/s
Supports: None
Build plate adhesion: Raft + Wolfbite
PC-Max gives the car body and suspension system excellent toughness and strength, making it durable for children to play with!
Except for the tires and rims, the car body and suspension system are printed as a single piece!
When printing this miniature monster truck, there's no need to set supports in the slicing software, as the file already includes built-in supports at the front and rear of the car body, which can be easily removed after printing.
The latest version of Cura offers many new options to set. Here are our parameters for your reference!
For those concerned about warping, you can refer to our Raft settings. It works even better when combined with BuildTak 3D print surface adhesive sheets.
PolyMaker PC-MAX delivers maximum performance!
Finally, team up with your friends and use a 3D printer to create your very own monster truck!
