  • I really like elegoo rpetg. It really likes moisture, though. Not a problem for me with my redneck dryer, though.

    I’ll be making a video with my setup soon.

    I had a bunch of rolls of plain petg, and dumped them on a second hand market. Never looking back.

    Also, Sunlu PLA+ 2.0. Great PLA.

    I want to try Polymaker HT-PLA-GF. High temp resistance (150°C) right off the printer, more if annealed, and glass fiber. Should be a great replacement for many engineering filaments, but printable on vanilla printers without enclosure/filters.


  • Epoxy can be a bit of a crap shoot with plastics. It works wonderfully for some, a not at all for others. I have worked a lot with epoxy and plastics are always a “try somewhere else in the part” thing. Also, if there is grease on the part" forget it. Even with epoxy especially formulated for plastics.

    If all you want is to use the epoxy as a filler, it may work.

    I have searched aliexpress, and there are kits for around 17€. I don’t know what the shipping and customs are where you live.
