Hello, has anyone done a strength comparison between parts printed on Markforged Mark Two or other machine to the competitors, and specifically Windform materials or CRP prints?

trying to get some hard facts.

thanks

Ive compared Markforged Mark2 prints in Onyx to Fusion3 F410, Raise 3D and BCN3D Sigma R17, and the Markforged was the handsdown best prints consistently. However, Raise 3D was a solid 2nd place, and if the Raise slowed down the print to the slow speed of the Mark2, I suspect the prints would have been equally impressive. BCN3D was the worst. Fusion 3 F410 was pretty good, but a distant 3rd.

one more thing, I sent the same file to all companies that printed them directly, so I can only assume they have the best knowlege on how to get the best quality out of their printers. The exception: I sent the Markforged Onyx print to a local guy, who is very good, but still is not Markforged himself, and still he had the best print quality. impressive. That being said, remember that the filament is similar, but not equal. Onyx is the same category as NylonX but not the same.
