Sterilise printed objects
Has anyone managed to make a sterilisable object on a reprap - if so what materials (and where can you get them) and processes did you use as autoclaving and most surface sterilising seems to be out...

I haven't tried sterilizing anything printed yet, but a typical autoclave runs around 250 degrees F. I'm pretty sure PLA would absorb the steam and break. For plastic things you usually sterilize with...

Not sure it would work but you should look into nylon. Taulman has some FDA approved filament on the way.

You might want to check and see if what you want to make has to be sterile. If it goes inside of the body it has to be sterile and a biocompatible plastic. If it goes on the outside of the body it...

I am looking to experiment with bio reactors for plant tissue culture. Anything that can be used externally -pinch valves, peristaltic pumps etc, disinfection will be Okay, but the ability to...

... the biggest problems with proper sterilization are micron-sized voids in the surface and/or material properties that reduce the resistance against tempeature or aggressive chemistry. But you can...

- Clearly the best option would be gamma radiation. But don't try this at home! ;) - Another very classical Method is the autoclave, if you dont have one you can use a pressure cooker for small...
