In this video we're testing more than 3D printed connections to try to get a better sense of just how much abuse a 3D printed connection can take in comparison to other more well-known materials. We're testing OSB, we're testing Plywood, Solid Spruce, and Solid Maple.

The test is focused on Torque or Twisting the parts to get them to fail, and the results for quite a few of the tests took my by surprise.

I hope you enjoy(ed) the video!

For this video, I've used the Bambu X1C, the filament was Bambu PETG-CF in Brick Red and in Titan Grey linked below (I receive a small commission if purchased through my link and it helps me continue to make videos like these):

#1 Core XY - Best bang-for-buck
QIDI Q1 Pro - https://qidi3d.com/products/q1-pro?sc...
This printer isn't as full featured as the X1C, but it is very capable and very precise. It also has a heated chamber and can reach higher hot end temps.

#2 Core XY - Most features with great results but Pricey $$
