			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I also extruded PA758 in the clear ABS variant.&nbsp; It extrudes very nicely at 190c. The filament has an very smooth shiny surface.&nbsp; It also prints very well and creates very beautiful prints .</p><p>The biggest drawback of the PA758 transparent ABS are the mechanical properties of it. It is more alike plexiglass/acryllic then ABS. If put under pressure is cracks after a few days or weeks and it hardly flexes.&nbsp; This ABS deteriorates very fast in sunlight. Printed a cover for my bicycle light, and that yellowed and crumbled within a year.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Resin: Polylac PA-758 (MABS, acrylic and ABS)</p><p>Equipment used:&nbsp; Filastruder 2.0, filament was produced vertically, horizontally, and at 45 degrees.&nbsp; Stock except for the thermocouple which has been replaced with the welded tip kind for higher temperature capability.</p><p>Extruded temperature: 205C</p><p>Filament diameter and tolerance:&nbsp; Varied with orientation.&nbsp; I received the best consistency with a 45 degree set up (I imagine if I had the Filawinder the vertical would be best - but vertically without a winder resulted in the filament occasionally touching the wall causing a larger diameter section).&nbsp; The consistency was 1.65mm to 1.68mm.</p><p>Drying this filament was very important (most ABS pellets don&#039;t require extensive drying - but these do).&nbsp; Without extensive drying not only is the exterior rough, but it makes the filament extremely brittle with air voids.&nbsp; After drying this filament remains more brittle than standard ABS (presumably because of the added acrylic.) but not as brittle as PLA typically can be.</p><p>Here are the pellets:<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?D0nOqFO.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?D0nOqFO.jpg" /></span></p><p>Here is the Filastruder at a 45 degree angle (4X4 cut at an angle, with this mounted to it: <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1508688)">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1508688)</a><br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?ijRQMCO.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?ijRQMCO.jpg" /></span></p><p>Here is the filament coiled on the floor:<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?om2huk7.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?om2huk7.jpg" /></span></p><p>Here is the filament going on a spool, I modified some of the Filawinder STLs to work with a stepper motor and a spare RAMPS board to wind filament after it&#039;s done being produced - unfortunately without the laser setup of a true Filawinder it doesn&#039;t know to stop pulling on the filament so I can&#039;t use it as it&#039;s being produced:<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?Cz9V9SW.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?Cz9V9SW.jpg" /></span></p><p>This was suppose to be more translucent than typical ABS so the first thing I tried was a single walled vase:<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?ZML1AZu.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?ZML1AZu.jpg" /></span></p><p>You can see if something is put inside the vase, but it is closer to opaque than truly translucent.&nbsp; Perhaps with larger layer lines like what Taulman recommends for best transparency.</p><p>I noticed this plastic was more rigid, less flexible (unfortunately more brittle) than typical ABS so I decided to use it to make the new motor mount designs for my MPCNC&nbsp; (the designer has been churning out new improved parts all the time lately).&nbsp; I used a 75% infill and it came out extremely rigid (what you want on a CNC part).&nbsp; I was worried it might break easily, but if you print with a high infill it seems to overcome the brittleness issue while you can still benefit from the rigidity.</p><p><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?sodHjdK.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?sodHjdK.jpg" /></span></p>]]></content>
