  • Depending on how valuable a long service life is to you (whether replacing the part in a year or two is a problem), you could consider going with something cheaper like ABS on a FDM printer. Your expected service temperature is maybe a bit close to the recommended upper service temperature of ABS, so you may risk a shorter service life. If you do try this route, just be sure that the service provider knows how to print with ABS and can avoid the warping and adhesion issues.

    Thanks, that’s helpful! What about the cost comparison between this type of aluminium alloys and steel?

    These brackets are used as supporting conveyor components, they are supposed to hold rollers and bearings, so they’re supposed to bear heavy loads
