    I use ABS. A bit stronger than PLA. It's not rated as UV stable but I've never had a problem with it. I like it as its very easy to repair using acetone as a solvent.

    I tried PETG but there was no way I could get it to adhere to the print bed. Went back to ABS as it sticks so well using a ABS slurry brushed on to glass.

    3D printers

    Is anyone making seatbox corners?

    I would be interested in buying some.

    Outdoors in the sun you’ll be better off with abs but you will need to manage the fumes

    Watch some of the assembly videos on YouTube so you go about putting it together so it is somewhat reliable…

    get used to the machine first before doing mods..

    getting the rollers correctly set and the frame square at the start really makes life down the track much easier

    i have a now heavily modified 3pro and its a great machine if you put in the time keeping things level etc

    the more expensive machines need less tender loving care but the ender can produce what they do if you take the time to set them up properly

    chep is pretty good on most things

    The 3v2 has most of the goodies that you add to the pro so if your not going to be a tinkerer

    Go the 3pro if you intend to fiddle and play with software etc

    Some do and some don’t it seems

    I put an upgraded board in mine as I went dual z and the std boards don’t do that well
