- Comment on I want to branch out from PLA. Should I try ABS or TPU? 4 weeks ago:
If you have an enclosure, I would say try out ASA. Similar to ABS, I’ve found it makes some really nice parts that are tough and UV resistant. Great for things you want to leave outdoors. Otherwise TPU is useful stuff too, and no heated chamber required. I was using it this weekend to print up seals and grommets for a trailer I’m rewiring. It’s nice being able to print up some parts I need rather than making a drive to the hardware store and hoping they’ll have something I can use.
- Comment on (Troubleshooting) Advice for improvement 4 weeks ago:
I agree that it’s probably a speed issue. When I first started printing, I was seeing just how fast I could go with PLA and tuning for that. Decided to try out PETG a few months later, and it was a disaster. Layers weren’t bonding properly, and the filament would bridge across points on the print. Once I backed print speed down to 50, I started to get much better results.

For the hell these executives put sick people through so they can make a buck, I’m surprised it hasn’t been happening on a regular basis. I understand gunning down CEOs in the street isn’t fine, but part of me finds it hard to feel it wasn’t deserved.
