Kinda had it with ABS. Trying to do large prints and the warping and cracking is driving me nuts, that is if the print doesn’t peel off the build plate and fail altogether in the first place. I’ve done what I can as far as print settings to have the best possibility of success, but even then the prints will often split.
I print car parts and things that are exposed to heat and chemicals occasionally, so ABS has been the easy choice, but are there any filaments out there that have comparable qualities but aren’t as likely to warp?
We print with PC at work because we need the best resistance (inside a hot motor). It has significantly better heat resistance than ABS/ASA (113°C heat deflection or higher sometimes vs ASA 93°) and not crazy expensive.
It also doesn’t warp nearly as much as ABS just in a little tent or enclosure. Glue stick for release on a smooth bed.
