Comment on Assembled my first 3D printer

  I have some PETG filament on the way which os another reason why I haven’t looked at the issue yet. All I have is PLA at the moment.

    I don’t know how critical this part is but if it sees any kind of load, re-pint in abs/ASA or better. Petg and PLA creep under consent load.

      It’s pretty critical. It holds one of the pulleys that the belt is attached to. The belt moves the print head in the x/y axis. I actually did print the part in PETG. Hopefully it just works and I won’t have to touch it for a year :D

        You will definitely want to reprint it in something else while the printer is working. Otherwise you’re going to see dimensional accuracy issues crop up over time that require you to keep adjusting the belts.

      And look into brick layers for extra durability.
