I won't have that wear evidence though, this Dremel 3d45 came with clear PETG, and although I've two spools of it, one about used up now, when thats used up I'll install the 2nd, and I've some bright green PETG to rewind on the first of the special 3/4 kg spools this thing uses.
These slightly smaller Dremel spools have RFID chips in them so they can tell the printer what its eating. At least enough to display it. But cura still runs the show. I have not carved any alu for a housing yet, next on the agenda here as I wanted a final size check from these innards first. I'd post a pix, clear stuff is wierd looking, but when I turned on the camera an hour back it yelped for a battery and died. And as a reloader, I have a couple oz of moly powder I may sprinkle a few grains of into a teaspoon of crisco just for S & G's. But with everything made from PETG, its surface is hard and polished, so the contact friction seems to be quite low anyway. Nothing like PLA for friction. Thanks Sam S. Take care abd stay well now.
