What do you think, which is stronger? FDM printed (PLA) or SLA printed (Resin) bolt and screw nut? That's what I am testing in this video. Strengh test of PLA bolt as most common material for FDM 3D printer and Water Washable Photopolymer resin. Since I don't have SLA 3D printer, I used 3D printing service, I ordered resin M6x20 bolts and M6 nuts.

This is actually an incredibly professional and scientific approach, I'm very impressed. I did not expect such a high quality experiment.

@MrVellial Ай бұрын

Yep. It's really very professional to compare the hardness along the layers for sla and across the layers for fdm😂

I believe the most common SLA resins are just for show, not strength, though I do believe you can get resins that are stronger. Some commercial resins are hard like a really dense and smooth concrete. :) If you end up experimenting with stronger resins it would be cool to see PLA+ or other strong versions. I love your tests, keep up the great work!

@Dev Guy I use high strength resins on my personal Formlabs form 3 3d printer to get high-quality prototypes. I think you can use good resins without a commercial 3d printer to get very strong parts. I also use all kinds of commercial elastic resins for unique parts.

@hj2479 3 жыл бұрын

@Dev Guy I use an automated wash and cure system to make the process easier and faster. The price of Formlabs official resins is also quite absurd so I modified one of their empty cartridges with a small part from Protoart and now I can use that cartridge with any third-party material and refill it whenever I run out. I usually like to buy from ApplyLabWork whose materials are half the price of Formlabs resin.

The water washable resins are very brittle, especially compared to the stronger types. The only other type I've used is Siraya's ABS-like resin and it's much tougher, i'm considering trying it for functional parts. There are tons of resin formulas, for conductivity, strength, flexibility and other material properties. I've also read many posts where people have mixed resins to a achieve a blend of material properties.

Then you did a very nice job of gathering all the information into the spreadsheet for quick comparison of the data. You put a lot of time and effort into making the setup for the tests. I make and post videos under another account (which is why you won't find any videos associated with this account) and nothing I do is nearly as good as what you've done here.

Nice video and great testing but as you also hinted to at the end there is a big problem with the comparability here. On the one side is PLA and while there are also many types here, that is a specific material. On the other side you just have a generic resin that is not intended to be used in physically demanding tasks. Of course there is a point here, that the cheapest material for FDM (pla) is much stronger than cheap resin but that is just the way it is. Resin printers exist in the first place because of the great quality and accuracy. If you want high performance in SLA you need to get specialized resin, just as you would get specialized filament for FDM if you wanted to get the best possible quality prints.

My nuts and bolts fit perfectly straight out of the print and also fit their matching metal fasteners no problem. I just print them standing up with no supports too. Hope that helps anyone.

i think the reason why pla is stronger than resin is because of the way the material was made. PLA is extruded in a mesh like pattern while resin is made whole. If we look at it as rope vs a single thread "WITH THE SAME THICKNESS" emphasis on same thickness, the rope would win because of the gaps and twining. the gaps and twining of the rope does a better job of dispersing force like a sponge, whereas a whole material doesn't. Another example is how folded iron is stronger than molded iron. this is due to the grain structure hold it together.
