Video Description

Does thickness matter? Today we'll find out which layer height you should choose to get the strongest prints! I printed test specimens with layer heights from 0.05mm to 0.40mm and measured their strength. Check out our *CNC Kitchen products* at https://cnckitchen.store/ or at our global resellers https://www.cnckitchen.com/reseller You can find all of the results also on my blog: https://www.cnckitchen.com/blog/the-influence-of-layer-height-on-the-strength-of-fdm-3d-prints For further reading: https://my3dmatter.com/influence-infill-layer-height-pattern/ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxo6VdyjA6VPdTBtajJWR2lHcFU/view?usp=sharing&resourcekey=0-COqU62rLmhPjnXF1H28nvw https://www.researchgate.net/publication/323572560_Strength_of_PLA_components_fabricated_with_fused_deposition_technology_using_a_desktop_3D_printer_as_a_function_of_geometrical_parameters_of_the_process https://manual.slic3r.org/advanced/flow-math https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Size_effect_on_structural_strength πŸ›’ Equipment used in this video (Affiliate Links): Original Prusa i3 Mk3S: https://geni.us/CNCKPrusaMk3 Prusament PLA: https://geni.us/CNCKPrusament πŸ’š Support me πŸ’š Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cnckitchen Join as a YouTube member!
