Hmm the car is parked in the garage so I just kind of assumed it was the UV during driving but yea I guess it must have been the heat.

Came here to take a silly poll about drinks, came away with some actual interesting reading about better election methods. Thanks man. A shame this will never change in the US but one can dream…

Any reason why you chose cf filament for this? Seems like it’s not under any stress that would need the tougher filament. Just curious I have yet to print in a cf filament.

I absolutely love that movie.

It’s funny cause I always kinda thought that was a bit of hyperbole regarding uv exposure.

Made a bracket to fix a broken mount for our back seat cam in our car. Printed in pla just to test the dimensions. It worked so I left it in the car. Didn’t make it a single day. Completely warped.

Reprinted in petg and it’s been going strong for 2 weeks now.

Which filament is that? I’ve been using hatchbox glow in the dark pla and mine definitely doesn’t glow nearly as bright as that.

My second printer arrived a month ago, and im using that to convert my first printer into a voron 0.2. so that only still counts as 2 right?

Also the rook.

I play rainbow6 siege quite a bit, and anytime I spot dome security cameras I get the intense urge to take them out.

Yea, the prusa Mk4 is a great option for you, but honestly even an mk3s kit might be worth looking into. Save a bit of money and you can always buy the upgrade kit to the mk4 later down the line of you deem it necessary.

If you want a printer working straight out of the box and don’t care about it being closed source, I cannot recommend the p1p enough. it has been night and day change from my last printer. literally just set it and forget it.

I would definitely steer clear of the ender 3s or other i3 style clones. You spend 95% of your time trying to tune and fix your printer instead of actually using it.

Also, since you don’t care about printing anything other than pla, you shouldn’t need an enclosure. with any of the mk3s, mk4, p1p, or x1c you are going to be able to print pla and petg perfectly fine with minimal tweaking.
