# Test-Print with different Filaments
###### tags: `3D Printing`, `box`,

To make sure, that the box is both watertight, but also doesnt suffer from mechanical damage, that would also lead to water coming into the box, we tested different filament types for their strength.

As we are printing the box standing, the layer adhesion was the main issue we tested.

We used this test design:

After printing, we tried to break the hook. to measure the force, we used a simple suitcase scale.

All parts were printed with the same settings:

- 0.2mm layer
- random seals (important for water tightness of the prints)
- 30% infill

1. First we tried to break the "hook", the single holding part.
2. Second, we also tried to break the remaining double part.
