Recently, my brother-in-law asked if I'd be willing to design and 3D print a custom panel for the interior of his 1968 Camaro. I won't digress and cover the struggles I had in doing that, but the design turned out nicely.Normally, ABS filament would be ideal for such a part, but I run my 3D printers in a basement bedroom. I can print PLA, PETG and TPU just fine, occasionally needing to fire up the air purifier I keep in the room, but given ABS filament's reputation for releasing toxic fumes and the fact that none of my printers are fully enclosed, I do not print with ABS at all. So I chose PETG, and ordered this filament since the interior of the car is mostly black.I ran this filament through my Artillery Sidewinder X1, which has it's stock 0.4 mm nozzle, and my JGAurora A5S, which is running a 1 mm nozzle. I had zero problems with this filament on both printers. The prints stuck to the glass build plates of both printers, I had zero clogging or flow issues, and both panel prints turned out great. For temperatures, I ran this filament at 235 C on both printers. For bed temperature, I ran 85 C for the A5S, and 105 C for the Sidewinder (the Sidewinder's build plate needs to be REALLY hot for PETG to stick for some reason). I also keep both build plates covered with a layer of purple disappearing glue.Normally, I prefer filaments from a couple of other manufacturers, but at the time of buying the filament, neither of my preferred manufacturers had black PETG in stock. I'm glad this filament worked out and will gladly get more from this manufacturer when I inevitably need more filament.
