Best filament for printer parts What's peoples opinions on the best filaments for 3d printer parts, I have had some problems with pla delaminating under stress. I have an e3d hotend and heatbed so should be able to run anything.

PETG for all.

Sorry to necro this thread.

I'm curious about PETG for parts. Especially those near the Hotend.
Normally I use ABS because it can stand up to the radiant heat from the Hotend.

I don't have my printer enclosed, but I get good parts that don't warp in ABS

I know the Glass Transition for ABS is 105C, and for PETG is 88C

I was wondering if anyone had any anecdotal tests of PETG for something like an Extruder Block
Wondering if that extra 17C made a difference]]> blt3dp Printing Mon, 07 Mar 2016 16:43:08 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,609631,628049#msg-628049 Re: Best filament for printer parts https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,609631,628049#msg-628049

While that still holds true for larger parts, modern ABS filament is much less prone to warping thann it was in the past.
I have very good results with Extrudr ABS. While eSun ABS+ practically does not warp at all for me, it is problematic when it comes to bridging and overhangs.

Really? I hadn't noticed...]]> the_digital_dentist Printing Wed, 17 Feb 2016 19:01:32 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,609631,627920#msg-627920 Re: Best filament for printer parts https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,609631,627920#msg-627920 epicepee Printing Wed, 17 Feb 2016 14:18:21 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,609631,627318#msg-627318 Re: Best filament for printer parts https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,609631,627318#msg-627318

If your printer isn't enclosed and warm, you won't be able to print ABS very well, even with a heated bed.
