How strong is 3D Printed White Strong & Flexible?
April 26, 2011
I was hanging out with some friends over the weekend, and we were throwing some Shapeways items around. They asked me “how strong is this material anyway?” “Well,” I responded, “what better way to find out than to test it out yourself?”
Here are the results..
BAM! (thanks to Nervous System for use of their Reaction Vase)

“The milk failed but the vase survived” is my new favorite phrase. Good to know the name “White Strong and Flexible” is exactly what it says on the tin. 😀
Ouch ! not the reaction vase !! 🙂
Nice product testing there! The ripped jeans add to the effect! 😛
For those of us who want to spill milk with our prints – what’s the maximum and minimum wall thicknesses of that vase?

is this a challenge to do the same with thinner parts? 🙂
Doing the same thing with thinner parts is the default plan for everything – Shapeways ain’t giving away material for free! 🙂
There might be a contest in that idea: design a part with the least amount of material no bigger than a certain cubic area that will support a certain weight…
I can’t whether they’ve printed the cheap version of the lamp or the expensive version. The cheap version varies between 1-2mm and the expensive one 1-4.5 mm
