you forgot to tell petg absorbs moisture like crazy, so i would say to keep that in mind while storing it

ASA if you have an enclosed printer without a doubt. Durable, high temp resistance so it can be left in a car, has UV resistance so doesn't care about the sun, can be vapor smoothed with acetone to practically remove print lines, and is very easy to sand if the print lines do remain. It requires the least post-processing and has the best overall mix of qualities as long as your printer can print it. Fantastic material that is worth effort.

yeah I definitely get it, though because of all the extra steps needed to get it going safely I personally wont use it and especially those who are starting out I wouldn't recommend jumping head first into that

@@Kirakreates Basic safety is the same as 3D printing any other plastic material but just more extensive. Even 3D printing PLA throws microplastic into the air and potentially your lungs, an enclosure and ventilation should be recommended for any type of printing if you are anywhere in the vicinity of your printer for more than a few minutes during a print.

I see you use the best CA Glue known to man. The accelerator is also some awesome stuff. My favorite is the black rubberized CA.. if the project can get away with it

I feel like butter wouldn’t be that good as a 3d printing filament tbh

Pla doesn not survive a a drop test on bigger prints so for anything bigger than 30cm I would never use pla. I have learned my lesson from sailor Saturn a silence glaive (1,87meters) it broke into 4 pieces when it slowly felt over. With petg you won't have these problems

Yeah pla tends to be more likely to shatter fs

The standard tube breaks down around 240-250. It doesn’t melt until 327. It is better to get the upgraded tube but not a necessity

Yeah like I said it’s more of a concern over time, I’ve seen some pretty rough failures from forums and stuff concerning it

I wish I could say PLA was the better option because I feel like I get overall better print quality and matte finishes with it compared to petg. But petg is superior for anything you actually are about using or being durable etc.. I want to try abs and Asa as I think they will be better than PLA and petg as they seem to do it all at the expense of toxicity and the need for an enclosure when printing.

@Kirakreates 5 ай бұрын

Yeah I didn’t even consider them because of the toxicity, I genuinely don’t really see a need for it
