The power of PLA!!! Thanks to a power failure, we had a defect in one of our prototype table joint prints. There’s a fault line where the structure was expected to be a little weaker than the rest of the joint.
Bets were taken. Would it break with the defect? Let’s just say one of us owes the other lunch :) We built our way up to 15kg (33lb) and ran out of weights (#lockdown).
We were originally debating using PETG for the print. After this test though, we figure PLA is going to be more than strong enough! What are your thoughts?
