Anyone who raises an eyebrow at paying $85 for a Deep Rock Galactic mug must know they are 'the most complicated mug made industrially on Earth'

I get them, niche shit is going to be expensive when you make them this way (high quality molds)Its a plastic mug lmao
-
Its a plastic mug lmaoThey 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

> 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.I have machined a lot, and I mean a *lot* of aramid filled materials of different kinds in a lot of situations. There is no way, under any circumstances I am letting that stuff near a drinking vessel I actively use, even if it is properly sealed. That shit is like hell on earth to be exposed to.

I would not recommend drinking out of anything 3d printed.I don't know if Id recommend drinking out of that cheap plastic one either.
-
I would not recommend drinking out of anything 3d printed.You would probably put a metal insert into it.

I've got a Stockton Rush paper right here proving otherwise! He even built a whole submersible to go down to the titanic. Next thing you say it won't handle pressure cycling either? Poppycock! (/s obviously)

This post did not contain any content.There's a lot of armchair experts on manufacturing here. No it can't be 3D printed, that will never beat injection molding in this use case. You must be living on the moon if you think this can be made from ceramic/steel for $50. Sorry but yall haven't got a clue
-
I would not recommend drinking out of anything 3d printed.They don't look made for using.
-
This post did not contain any content.Oh, damn. I thought it was $85 for all four. I would have maybe laid down that, I am a Lord of th Deep after all. But I didnt know they were plastic...
-
I would not recommend drinking out of anything 3d printed.True, and more generally I would not recommend drinking out of plastic containers anyway
-
You would probably put a metal insert into it.On that note PLA is food safe anyway, the reason you don't drink out if it is the layer lines create an environment for bacteria so with finishing and cleaning you wouldn't even need the insert, in theory anyway though I'd still use one.

There is no way, under any circumstances I am letting that stuff near a drinking vessel I actively use, even if it is properly sealed. That shit is like hell on earth to be exposed to.Fair, though I wasn't thinking of machining in this case. But yeah, my experience isn't generally related to food safe stuff, so I don't always think about it. Not too much concern about that on subs, helicopters, jets, etc.

> 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
