High‑Performance Kevlar®/Nylon Powder Baskets for Ski Season

These powder baskets combine Kevlar® and nylon to deliver both flexibility and impact resistance. The nylon layer flexes to absorb shock, while the underlying Kevlar® transmits the load, ensuring durability in the harsh conditions of ski season.

Chris Hayes refined the fiber orientation using MarkForged’s software. A detailed view of the Kevlar® layers is shown in the screenshot below.

High‑Performance Kevlar®/Nylon Powder Baskets for Ski Season

Specifications from the Thingiverse listing:

  • 100 mm powder basket
  • Top hole diameter 10.5 mm, tapered at 1°

For users with a Markforged Mark One, we recommend downloading one of the bundled .mpf files and printing from USB. The .mpf files contain the precise fiber layout, which is not captured in the raw .stl file.

Revisions

  • Rev C: larger, cooler‑looking slots and all updates from Rev B.
  • Rev B: upgraded bottom‑edge fillet to 1.125 mm, enabling MarkForged to preserve the feature when “thin features” is disabled, plus improved surfacing on the rear cut‑away.
  • Material usage per basket: 17.3 cc nylon (Rev C) or 18.4 cc nylon (Rev B) and 2.3 cc Kevlar® for both revisions.
