And anybody that has fought with layer adhesion on ABS vs. most other filaments can only agree with my assessment here. Ya we can make it work. We can do anything. But hey we can do anything. So we made a very comparable filament that doesn't poison us in our homes. And that my good buddy is PETG. Which is also recyclable unlike the ABS.
Thank you. I have to admit, I havn't researched the PETG or other newer filament types yet. Last time I printed was about two years ago. I have a spool of ABS and will probably still use it and will have the printer vented to the outside. I am not one that likes to contribute unnecessary pollution. Based on your recommendations, I will likely move to the PETG.
