3d printers for making stuff for the RV
I have fallen down the worm hole of 3d printing since Christmas, and was wondering if anyone else on here is playing with them. If so, how you use them when it comes to RV's. I can see them being ...

print is done, this thing is exceptionally clean. significantly better looking then the PETG I primarily use, no loss of threading in the hose section either.
It may even look better then the PLA I have used in the past.
some thread marks are from trying a garden hose to check the shrinkage fit.
a touch tighter, but man, it looks exceptional, just wish it didn't cost more then double the PETG.
Ignore the layer shift at the top, we had a power outage, and the printer pretty much can never recover after an outage.
you may recognize the print.
do you use an enclosure? just wondering how it was for fumes and warping and such, I was setting up for ABS but I like the idea of the UV resistance of ASA, thats why I use PETG over PLA. up here it is about 10 bucks a spool more for ASA over PETG so realy not crazy except black for some reason is twice the price.
No, but I am way above the bed temp recommended. they recommend 75-90, people say to use 105F/110, which i did. I may try to lower it in the future. 0 warp on a PEI sheet, no brim/raft. no glue, no nothing.
I have read if the print is bigger then your fist you need an enclosure.
there was a bit of a smell. I was in the room the entire time it was printing, wasn't a big deal to me.
this is a specialty filament for me. So far PETG is doing everything I need. I may need to do some engine stuff in the future, so I wanted to give it a try.
I am finding out I can print PC-CF blends with my printer as well. That stuff makes ASA look cheap. IDK if I'm going to go down that path.
