Discussion: Clear filament pet-g versus pla

[curious aardvark]

I'd say that's about the same transparency I get with clear pla - from my 0.5mm nozzle at 150mm/s 0.3mm layer 210c on alexa.
I'm currently designing (well alright 'copying') and making an insect catcher (bumble bees currently looking for homes and we've got great weather so doors and windows open) with cheap clear pla - off ebay, not a clue who made it.

I did contemplate using the k40 and some 2mm clear polysterene sheet - but it stinks worse than abs and I have no idea how to glue it together, without printing some hinge brackets. Plus, I like designing awkward stuff to print without supports.
Basic catcher is a hollow pyramid, figured if I printed it lying on a side I could have a sliding slot for the trapdoor with no need for any support or dodgy bridging.
Looking good so far.

When it's done I'll post a pic and we can compare transparency :-)

But I don't see what you're gaining by using pet-g for simple boxes ?
I mean apart from experience printing with pet-g - which i could do with, but lack the patience so to do ;-)
