Shoutout to the channel @MakingForMotorsport! his video on reverse engineering scans in CAD was the way i found out about the mesh cross section in fusion360! He has a real in depth video on working with scans, so if you liked the CAD bit of this video, go check that one out!
You're welcome! I don't plan to only do 3d scanner content, but it is a helpful tool to have! hopefully in the next few months you will see more variety, but im sure the scanners will be used here and there :)
If you can get your hands on PCTG (a slightly different version of PETG), it prints better than normal PETG, has excellent layer adhesion and its temperature tolerance is higher again. I use it for print production of parts for various vehicles dealing with Australian summer heat.
oh! thanks for the heads up! ill have to grab some and play around with it. This was the first time in years i bought petg, cause i had some real bad experiences with overture petg in the past (idk if the formula is better now, but bad bed adhesion mixed with high surface tension caused a lot of lifting and print failure). I do love me some co-polymers though, PCTPE has become one of my favorite filaments for impact resistant parts, so having another one in the back pocket for stuff like this would be great! I need a small gasket to close a gap in a cold air intake where i had to cut a corner out due to fitment issues with an oil catch can AN fitting, and 76c glass transition temp might just be high enough to work for that :D
@@torstonvodesil6709 Maybe the spec sheet says that but personal experience says otherwise. Last I checked, PETG was about 10 degrees C better than PLA...or a GTT of 85 C, that doesn't mean it will handle that temperature though. Didn't work for me but that doesn't mean it won't work for you.
yeah, I don't have ventilation on my printer, and one of my cats has asthma, so I try to keep him out of the room and print only low VOC filaments. I've done a few prints with petg for my car without issue. I live in a fairly cool climate and have tinted windows, so I'm sure that helps a lot with petg being usable. good news with 3d printing, if I have an issue, a print with a different material is only an hour away!

Very helpful video to watch your process, thank you

PETG won't handle the heat in the summer. ABS or ASA might be your best bet
Pretty sure petg softens at around 85 degrees. Just look it up.
