Thanks for sharing! I'll try this way.

What size nozzle are you using with your PETG I have a Makerbot with stock .4mm nozzles will it work with that size.
Thanks

PETG just like MOST other materials will work with any size nozzle and yes PETG works with a .4 or .3. It is just a matter of tuning the temp and speed.

A lot of what I print with is dictated by what the item will be used for.

and I run ABS a lot in a standard sized bedroom turned hobby room - I personally do not have any problems with it, but if you do then you should definitely consider other materials

Has anyone noticed a harshness in your voice or a persistent coughing after being around your open air 3D printer? I have and built a air filter to help remove toxic fumes. I have a feeling down the road there are going to be some respiratory problems. Lawyers will pick up on it and will start sueing 3D printer manufacturers for not equipping printers with filtration systems. Just my opinion.


Depends on the material you are using to print with. PLA should not present any real issues since it is based on corn sugar. ABS and PETG maybe, but I print all the time with PETG in closed 600 sqft apartment and have noticed not issues so you could be overly sensitive to certain irritants as some people are.
