Thoughts and Experiments For Making Heat-Resistant prints
How do I print structural things (cup holder, pin, etc.) for the inside or outside of a car?
- standard PLA is out: heat sensitive
- there's ePLA and PLA+ and other special PLA that claims to be more heat sensitive. Reviews are sketch and brands unrecognized
- ABS would require printer modifications
- PETG might be a reasonable compromise?
Annealing
Whatever material used, it seems the annealing process will be important
- method for annealing: tl;dr use sand and a toaster oven
- annealing experiments: tl;dr 110*C for PETG
