What material for extruder printed parts - MK3/MK3S
Does anybody know what material was used for extruder printer parts in MK3/MK3S? Is it PET-G for all beside a part (duct) of nozzles’s fan air which is made of ABS? I am planning to move towards geared extruder motor design and I am wondering from which meterial should I print parts which are exposed to high temeperatures.

Your info is correct: all PETG except the fan duct, which is ABS. But, many have been having issues with the parts melting when printing higher temp filament like ABS; so new designs are in the works, rumor has it by Prusa, and a few user designs are floating around.

Thats great news 🙂 While I was reducing noise of my printers I am wondering if orange parts are being printed from PET-G also or it is ABS? For example: orange part which holds Z-axis motor to the frame.
