New Porsche Taycan Jack Pads Available

PLA is not as strong as PA6-CF. I haven't printed ones for me, but when I was considering doing it I was going to try the PPA-CF (the strongest, on paper at least, filament I have handy).

When making tooling for manipulating steel to flare holes etc. it is generally PLA that the tooling is made from, reason being PLA does not creep.

In a short‑duration compressive load, I agree that PA6‑CF wins.

In a fixture or tool where the load is static, high, and applied for minutes or hours, PLA often behaves better because PLA doesn’t creep. PA6‑CF does.

Have you thought about adding a magnet to make it stay?

Do you do any annealing with the PA6-CF prints?

Magnet is a good idea to get the puck to stay in place while the jack is inserted, would definitely save a little bit of time when preparing to jack the car up.

Not annealed any PA6-CF, the testing is pretty clear, it definitely improves layer adhesion and strength.

I have had a Qidi X-Max 3D printer for about 4 years, printed lots of different materials, but PA6-CF is a great utility filament.

It only has one print head, but would definitely allow the print to pause while you drop a magnet into a cavity that is then printed over to encapsulate the magnet.

Have the same 3d printer. (and and few. older ones). I havent used PA6-CF, I can give that a go.

I bought a Powerflex one...fits incredibly snugly to the point I drove 20miles with it stuck in the recepticle
