Thread: Handy with a 3D printer?

Am I imagining this? While waiting for Mr Bezos to deliver a roll of PET-G, I printed an item in PLA to test fit. It took 4:37 hours. Now with PET-G the slice software is telling me it'll be 3:43 hours. Does PET-G print faster than PLA?

Likely the software settings for pet-g has changed the speed of movement. You tend to move faster if I recall with Pet-g as it has a tendency to be quite stringy

Yes. Faster and usually a little more retraction on turns.

Often still wrong for timing though!

My printer was happy to print this without supports in PLA. In PET-G not so much

Anyone around prepared to do some of these?

I need at least 2 and possibly 4.

They are the clips that hold the headrests in the RRC.

The heading shows the original LR part number - unobtainium

and an apparent suitable replacement - probably the same

I could do a few, but you might find someone closer. Here's the link to the file if you find someone.

I'm happy to pay anyone (including postage) that is happy to do 4 - or less if they prefer - a volunteer is worth 10 pressed men!

If nobody closer chimes in I'll give it a go.
