Plastic? At this price, wouldn’t ceramic be on par?
I assume so you can throw them just like in the game
Which is awesome, but then it shouldn’t cost this much.
Unless if it’s made of some of the actually ultra high performance plastics, like maybe polycarbonate or carbon fiber reenforced PA-6/PPA for example, but I highly doubt that’s the case
Pa6 I believe. Food safe, microwave safe, etc.
But still plastic.
carbon fiber reenforced
Great for strength, bad for impact resistance. You’d want a non-filled material or at least less stiff filler. Something like aramid (kevlar) would give you good properties across the board for an application like this though.
It’s true theoretically carbon fiber filling will always reduce Impact resistence, but it shouldn’t be too much of an issue for this application when the polymer already have exceptional impact resistence and thus a lot of headroom to spare. In other words, because of how the polymers like PA/PC already have so much impact resistence, the stuff usually riot shield or motorcycle helmet shell is made of, there will still be more than enough impact resistence after the impact resistance reduction from CF filling, to be sufficiently impact resistent for a throwing mug LMAO
At least my power tools who’s handles and casings are made of PA6 + 30% glass fiber (which has even worse impact resistence impact than CF) hold up more than sufficiently from getting thrown around lol
Plastic cartoonie looking mugs for close to a hundred dollars. LMAO
I get them, niche shit is going to be expensive when you make them this way (high quality molds)
Its a plastic mug lmao
They don’t even really look that good. A 3d printer could probably have similar output in an afternoon for less than 10 bucks of filament
I would not recommend drinking out of anything 3d printed.
True, and more generally I would not recommend drinking out of plastic containers anyway
For almost a hundred bucks, I expect this to be high quality and made ceramic or double walled vacuum sealed stainless steel. This looks worse than what some higher end 3d printers can do in a few hours.
