Tool head prints

Development Hardware
#1

Hi,

I am upgrading my current tax 4 head to the all metal hotted and i am printing out a new extruder mount. I also am doing some mods to the machine and i am wondering the best material to print the parts with. I know the answer will be abs however i am struggling to get them printed without the usual warping etc. Can these be printed in colorfabb NGEN? I don’t know the temp these parts will get exposed to. I am assuming Std PLA is out of the question?

Pla will deform, the steppers are above 50°. I’m using PETG :slight_smile:

Yeh i had pretty much ruled out pla anyway but ngen is really easy to print. I thought with it requiring a much higher printing them and 85 degree bed temp it would be able to be used for the extruder carriage.
