Holy smokes PACF is strong
I designed this part to be machined from aluminum, we had manufacturer problems and are rushing to a deadline so I said I could make demonstration units from PA6 and get away with it until the aluminum parts come in.
Well this one is a test fit, so after validating the fitment I tossed it to one of my teammates and said “I bet you can’t break this”. His eyes lit up at the challenge. He failed.
I grabbed a piece of aluminum extrusion and put it on the floor and then put this part on that and then stood on either side, putting the part in pure horrible 3-point bending without a single sound from it. I bounced up and down on my toes on it. I am not a delicate lady.
I went to the team lead afterwards and showed him the footprints and said I don’t think we need to worry about those aluminum parts anymore. This stuff is bonkers.
