Which low weight heat resistant filament?
Hi,
I would like experimenting printing parts such as fan ducts around the print nozzle while keeping the weight to a minimum.
So far, I only printed on PLA and would like something more heat resistant.
I am considering ABS which seems to have a lower density than PLA and higher heat resistance.
Am I heading in the right direction or another material would be more approriate? Are all ABS equals or should I look for any filament in particular?
Thanks for the help!
RE: Which low weight heat resistant filament?
I'd go with ASA over ABS. Basically the next gen ABS but much easier to print and almost no bad smell. Or try PC-CF, which I like a lot. For both materials check the Prusa materials table for recommendations on print sheet and temperatures. I suggest using an enclosure for ASA or PCCf but you may be okay for smaller parts. And PCCF, you want to dry the hell out of it.
