3126007[/URL]]petg would get you bye but asa would be the best for a printed solution IMHO

petg takes some playing with to get right

is your setup a bowden setup or direct drive or ?

on my s3pro

i use
nozzle temp 230 for 2 layers then 240
bed temp 85 for first layer then 90

cooling fan
bridges 90%
30% first 5 layers
50% after layer 5

print
max volumetric speed 8mm/s
density 1.27g/cm3
extrusion multiplier 1
.4 extrusion width
layer height .2mm
4 shells
45mm/s speed

nozzle height
lift .05mm

retraction
.8mm @ 35mm/s

Thanks Dave. Mine is a Bowden IDEX unit. The documents don’t list compatibility with petg but people say that it will work. I get some stringing and the results seem pretty brittle. I’ll see if my printer will accept these settings.

Handy with a 3D printer indeed. Couldn't have thought of a better thread title than this for sure for a story I have just read about a 15 year old college kid in Wellington (even though it is in the Disco 3/4 forum...?). Bright future for this young guy and all who he works with and for. Heck, at 15 I was patching surfboards, sneaking beers, and figuring out what mischief to get up to next time I wagged school...

Lots of good youtube videos on what is possible with 3D printing -

Making for Motorsport - prints inlet trumpets and manifolds
My Tech Fun - has a few vids on different filaments and weight/strength and temperature tests
Teaching Tech - a young teacher that also prints engine bay parts
Makers Muse - various how to's and product testing.

Watched a fair bit of MM. Thanks for the other three.

Just printed a couple of these up.






Sits on my RCBS reloading press and catches the primers as they are pressed out.
There’s a factory supplied version that’s absolutely useless and this sorts the problem.

You design that yourself, Mike? In TinkerCad or something?

Sadly no, got the model from Thingiverse.

TV had THAT. Amazing. Still, I guess a fair few of our North American friends would have found it useful.
