I can’t think of any printable material that is strong enough for a working skateboard.

@Shachar_Weis It would only have to be flexible. You would laminate it along with the wood/fiberglass structure of the board, I would think.

Yeah I didn’t think of that. That can work, I thought this was an entire board printed.

I agree though, you probably couldn’t make a board like he did in this video that would be strong enough.

@Shachar_Weis plain ol’ ABS should be strong enough if the deck is properly designed for the plastic. Might turn out a bit thicker than a wooden one, but i think it’s totally feasible.

Cool…cool…you printed a skateboard…now let me see so grind on that thing

Early polymer boards were nylon, its possible if layers were at different angles I should imagine.

I think if you could print a whole deck as one piece it would be pretty sturdy stuff, the joints due to build area size are what make this a less sturdy piece. The designer is quick to point out that this is an art piece.
