Plastic and heat

All right! I formulate a nice explanation in the appropriate style, as you want it – easily understandable, with icons and 2 Images of deformed 3D Printing-Parts.
Here is my suggestion:


Respect for: 3D-printed plastic parts! ♥️?

Ours 3D-printed products are made of high-quality plastics – but please note, that they are sensitive to Heat and direct solar radiation can react!

❗ Why?

  • Plastic parts can be deformation, softening or even melting, if they: longer period 60 °Care suspended.
  • Direct Sun (e.g. in the car or on the windowsill) can easily temperatures of over 60 °C achievement!

The melting points of our materials

? PLA (Polylactide)
→ Glass transition temperature: ~ 55–65 °C
→ Will already be in Solar heat soft!

? PETG (Polyethylene terephthalate glycol)
→ Glass transition temperature: ~ 70–80 °C
→ A little more heat resistant, but sun can also be critical here.

? ABS (Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene)
→ Glass transition temperature: ~ 100–110 °C
→ Better suited for higher temperatures, but direct heat remains a risk!


Possible consequences?

  • Deformation
  • Material cracks
  • Loss of stability
  • Complete melting or gluing

Guarantee Notice?

In Disregard of these instructions (e.g. storage in extreme heat)) we do not assume any guarantee for damage to the products.
