“In their findings, ABS held a minimum of 209 pounds and a maximum of 284 pounds. This is pretty strong and much greater than PLA’s range of between 119 and 184 pounds. Overall, ABS is a good bit stronger than PLA, which somewhat justifies how difficult it is to print.”
ABS is not STRONGER than PLA, it's TOUGHER. The terminology makes a big difference. It's like rubber and diamonds. Rubber is tough, diamonds are strong.
Again, what is your definition of strong? I did not say ABS has a higher modulus or tensile strength. If you hand a PLA print and an ABS print to a random person to use, the vast majority will say that ABS is “stronger” - again, this was not a technical video as I stated multiple times
Fun comparison. I would have liked some more side by side and full lineup shots. Still shots of each benchy at the same angle all on screen at the same time. Compare key features in side by side frames like the roof overhangs, smoke stack, text, bottom surface, top surface. I think that kind of comparison and maybe even some kind of rating system would take comparisons like this to the next level quality and views wise.
@@madebyjwillis dang. I totally missed that. I do see that many use pcbway's 3d printing service as well. Maybe a future video where you compare sls prints from all of them? That would make for an awesome video!
@@madebyjwillis I just checked their website and he's right their sls and sla nylon prints are actually cheaper. And you can get their metal prints for similar price to some of those other plastic ones you showed (protolabs).
On your order from Shapeways it says SLS which is selective laser sintering and uses a laser to melt and fuse the powder grains. It's pretty close to MJF regarding the part being made from powder fused together layer by layer.
Haha long story but I tried to do that and they were on a holiday or something so I couldn’t get in touch with them. I have ordered a print from their sister company called Angled, and I wasn’t impressed
00:50 PLA is stronger than ABS.
Depends on what you mean by “stronger” actually but generally speaking, ABS is more durable
Quite sure it isn't. Only real benefit of ABS is its higher temperature resistance.

Nice video dude! That MJF benchy looks awesome, too bad that technology isn’t more accessible for consumers.
Yeah it’s impressive - maybe someday!

Now you need to order SLS, MJF, and FDM parts from all of them to compare between them lol
They don’t all sell FDM parts (which is what I said at the beginning of the video)

The xometary should have been reprinted. That would not leave my door and ship to a customer…
That $96 one is fantastic!!
I agree! Appreciate you watching!
JLC's SLS and SLA are much cheaper than their FDM that you tried.
I picked the cheapest option available

Yeah you’re right - the MJF does feel slightly more dense though
Very helpful, thanks
Would be nice to see what Slant 3D would have done.
Looking at the last one, I could offer print services with my own printer for a better deal and quality lol
Haha same - that was the idea for the test was to see if hobby machines can do as too as these companies
I love too see A other Model printed again but alle with the Same exotic / hard to print material like PP or PEEK
Good point - what kind of model would you like to see?
@@madebyjwillis good question,
Maybe
The Torture Toaster by Clockspring
Great video! What kind of camera do you use for recording?
Nvmd immediately found my answer in the description. 😔
For this video, the macro lens makes a big difference for the detail shots
Dude your quality is insane, the subs will catch up. Keep up the good work thanks!
Definitely a work in progress but trying to make each video a little better than the last! Thanks for the encouragement! Really means a lot!
Curious if slant3D could be added to the next comparison
Haha long story but I tried to do that and they were on a holiday or something so I couldn’t get in touch with them. I have ordered a print from their sister company called Angled, and I wasn’t impressed
In the first few seconds I thought why is pewdiepie now into 3d printing.
Haha not sure if that’s a compliment or not
