3D printed ULTEM™ 1010 thrust bearing adapter for FGF 3D printer

Case study: 3D printed ULTEM™ 1010 thrust bearing adapter for FGF pellet extruder

Jasper Wille
Using ULTEM™ 1010 to replace an aluminum part in a Xtrution FGF (pellet extruder) 3D printer. We selected this ultra performance polymer for a couple of reasons. The original aluminium part transferred a lot of heat through the screw of the extruder to the bearing and feed zone, causing transportation and bearing failure issues. This is significantly reduced because the thermal conductivity of ULTEM™ 1010 is about 1000 times lower compared to aluminium.
