We still need your help to test every filament! - Join our Kickstarter today

Here is an update on where we are at on our Kickstarter journey.


We have about 4 days left on our Kickstarter and we are getting closer to reaching our goal.


There is not enough good data in the industry about how 3D Printed parts perform. We want to change that. So we are going to start building a testing lab. We have launched a Kickstarter campaign to test Filament.


We want to share the data, both on the Youtube channel and on the blog so that everyone has access to our findings.



We are looking to acquire a formal tensile and compression testing machine. This equipment will allow us to conduct precise and standardized tests. We are looking to generate valuable data.

The Kickstarter will fund 20 videos based on the testing machines. For the cost of a spool of filament, you can contribute to this endeavor!


Our Kickstarter campaign will feature a series of stretch goals as well for additional filament testing.


We are looking to include UV testing, flammability testing, and impact testing. We want to build a 3D printing qualification lab, where not only materials are verified but they qualify in their printed state.

This initiative is very important for the advancement of the 3D printing industry. To be able to provide a reliable data set and engineering chart for any 3D printed materials.


We firmly believe that holding manufacturers accountable for their products is essential for the growth of 3D Printing. We have begun other testing videos that can be seen on our Kickstarter.
