Printed parts using PLA Hi, just a short question: A friend of mine asked me to print him a set of printed parts for the Mendel90. I've only printed using PLA so far so I would like to print the parts using PLA. Will there be a problem using PLA for the printed parts? I'm thinking especially about the X-Carriage + Extruder because of the heat... So, is it possible (and advisable) to use PLA for the printed parts?

Thanks a lot for the link - somehow the search turned up absolutely nothing when searching for "PLA", dunno whats going on with that...]]> irrenhaus Mendel90 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 13:04:19 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,315140,315434#msg-315434 Re: Printed parts using PLA https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?292,315140,315434#msg-315434
