Zatsit, Zat's FAST!

A project log for Folds and Hinges Technology to Make Mechanisms

Engraving by CNC a special composite, the Hylite, to create folds and hinges. Zatsit, so made, is on Kickstarter until oct 5, 2018. Hurry!

Hi!

In this log, Zatsit shows its ability to run quite fast.

The purpose of this test is to highlight the quality/speed ratio.

There are many printers that can print a satisfying object by going very slowly, and many can also go very fast by doing just about anything. 

What characterizes a quality printer is to go fast without losing quality.

This test is made possible by a remarkable filament, PLA+ uDiamond from Carbodeon, which is loaded with nanoparticles, in order to change the thermal properties. Print speeds can be tripled with the same hot-end.

Even with this filament, we have to stop at 560 mm/s, whereas the mechanics could go up to 1m/s!
