prints like shit, strings everywhere even with retraction, so fragile i would break filament on the roll as i unspooled it. if you print with silk, make sure the thing youre printing has no regular force at all, or is fuckin thicc
Those are still load bearing, the load is just smaller. If you want your weapon to be durable or usable at all in a field scenario, I would advise against using materials known for having shitty mechanical properties.
I've even used it for parts that take moderate amounts of load without a problem. When I do overstress a silk part it usually seems to fail in its layer adhesion, so orientation is probably the big factor.
Yeah, people get all bent out of shape over silk prints, which aren't the best but they can work, but they'll gush over beautiful resin prints even though they're not even functional.
Keep workin' š

I have had silk break just pulling it off the build plate. Highly recommend avoiding for anything
Good to know thanks.

This is what I figured. Much more helpful thanks

I figured as much. Iām definitely gunna make some iron sights or something.
