#Looking For A Temperature And Pressure Resistant Filament

PPS CF sounds like a decent canditate for this application, I have no experience with it yet but from what I've heard from annex and voron folks it is not that hard to print in an enclosed printer, somewhat comparable to PC Blends, so it's doable. Also it should perform way better than most nylons when it comes to creeping. https://www.3d4makers.com/products/luvocom-3f-pps-cf-9938-bk-filament

This has been a great tool to compare polymaker filaments

#

Their info page shows its upto 180c after annealing

#

Looks like ill have to order some and print something to try this stuff out to

Polymide CoPA does indeed look like a really appealing material

#

Will need to look into it and maybe try it sometime

#

I am wondering whether it creeps or not

It does

Awesome info yall tyvm!

# boreal basin PPS is really solid. Once annealed, it's on par with almost any ultrapolymer lik...

Since I have a bone stock kobra max fleet and have barely done any upgrades idk where to even start if I want to print PSS. I assume a full metal hotend but to be honest i am not sure what that means. Ideally a full metal hot end and direct drive upgrade would be ideal 9based on what i have read) but i think that the extra weight will introduce wobble as Anycubic had to remove the direct drive from the baby brother of the kobra max as the weight made the kobra max wobble. I think I would have to upgrade my rotors to fix that??? But I feel like its a lot to tackle with no one to help walk me thru it as there are no YT relating to the kobra max in that capacity as of yet.

Ah PPS will require a fully enclosed printer capable of 350C nozzle, 120C bed, and at least 50-60C chamber

@boreal basin Weirdly enough I did not delete the message, or at least I had no intention of doing so. I have no clue how that happened.
Essentially, I was looking for a filament to print that would withstand temperatures of 250F while having 15PSI of pressure applied to it. I have only a stock AnyCubic Kobra Maxs to print with, so i will be testing Polymide CoPA in a couple of days. However, someone suggested PPS CF, which you said was a really good choice. But I have no clue what upgrades need to be done to the Kobra Max in order for it to be able to print it reliably.

@boreal basin I have an enclosure! Not sure how to swap in the all metal or the direct drive. Hot bed already goes to 110C stock so thats set already. I am concrened with the added upgrades of a full metal hot end and a direct drive that the weight of the extrusion mechanism would become too much, and it would introduce print wobble. Do you know how I would fix wobble?

Just don't print as fast 😅 You should be fine around 50-70mm/s

@boreal basin Omega humongous brain, thank you for your wise advice

I'm serious haha. Make up for the slower movement speed by increasing line width to maintain the same flow rate. You'll end up printing the same amount of plastic in the same amount of time, but without moving the print head as quickly
