Hi all,
We’re using a small sensor which is placed in this housing.
The device is being attached to a wheel using magnets.
We currently used a basic ABS, which is not strong enough. My question is which material would be strong enough and water resistant?
Thank you guys!
Greetings,
Youssef
Hello Youssef,
Thank you for contacting us.
The only material that i.materialise offers in a water resistant finish is SLS polyamide. For the sealing of your design, we process your polyamide part with an aqueous solution to fill small pores and close its outer surface or skin. Depending on the design, it is applied manually or by dipping the part. Here you can find a link with the technical specifications of this material : https://i.materialise.com/en/3d-printing-materials/polyamide/technical-specifications
Unfortunately, this material is not as strong as the ABS we offer.
