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
Nils

Hehe cheers. Yeah I knew I've read that thread some time ago and that it was about "spare parts" in PLA or ABS so that made the search a bit easier.

The forum search doesn't work with less than four letters. A bit useless for RepRap as there are lots of TLA's in common use. Better to use Google with site:forums.reprap.org ...

That explains it smiling smiley

Thought of something like that, but there was no error/warning message, just "no entries found" or something like that smiling smiley
