Hi everyone!
I’m a student at MSU and for one of my classes I need to make use of fiber reinforced filament, and was wondering if anyone had a printer that could do this or if you know anywhere where I can print with this kind of filament. The exact type isn’t super important as I haven’t bought a spool yet, so any help is much appreciated, Thanks!
I have a Bamboo P1S that can print with fiber reinforced filament.
@leif_swanson may be able to help with this.
Howdy i4n_m15,
If by fiber reinforced you mean carbon fiber reinforced, all the 3D printer would need is a hardened nozzle. Usually these are steel but I have seen some other materials used.
Currently we do not have a hardened nozzle at LMN but I have been meaning to acquire one for personal use, and it would be compatible withone of the 3D printers at LMN.
When would you need it by?
Best Regards

Howdy i4n_m15,
Just a brief update but I have ordered a hardened nozzle that is compatible with our printer. I also meant to ask earlier but forgot to, what class is this and what are you making?
Best Regards

Sorry for the late response, thank you! I’m taking Intro to Composite Materials(ME426) and we’re printing parts for a drone
Thanks again,
Ian
Howdy Ian,
I am delighted to report that we now have the aforementioned hardened nozzle and can print the drone parts, if you have the files ready.
Best Regards

Awesome! We just received all the necessary hardware so now we’re designing. Thanks again for the help, I’ll be sure to let you know when we’re ready to print!
