| what is the most common durometer for soft equipment features? |
| (1/1) |
| coppercone2:
Has anyone measured the durometer of something like a fluke multimeter/scopemeter case or a HP bump guard (rubber bezel on the half rack instruments) or something along those lines? |

Hi coppercone2, Here are the hardness values I could measure : - HP/Agilent rubber bezel : ShoreA 85 - Fluke Scopemeter (top & bottom yellow parts) : ShoreA 90 This should give you a ballpark if you expect to 3Dprint rubber protections for T&M enclosures. |
| coppercone2:
oh wow that is alot higher then I thought If I had to guess I thought it would be around 70. That seems way too soft if I know those guards are 85-90 |
| timeandfrequency:
I also thought it was a bit softer. Old rubber tends to get harder over time. However you don't want your T&M equipement to act like a super bouncing ball. A TPU85A filament should be a good start. |
| coppercone2:
nah I wanted to make molds and cast it I don't like those filament printers one bit |
