[QUOTE="Simmo, post: 649876, member: 4105"] [USER=23052]@Hilux[/USER] I agree with Ian mate, PLA is good for display stuff etc but is made from 'sugar' and does not have a lot of strength or heat tolerance. ABS is petrolium based and has a heap more strength and resilience. It prints a lot hotter and it is advised to encase the printer to keep the heat in. An example is a mate of mine printed PLA fake Muzzle flash hiders for his Gel Blasters. Put the blasters in the boot of his car on the friday arvo, got to the game on sunday and the hiders could have shot around corners!!!! They were all melted! Another stronger than PLA filament that is easier to print is PETG or PETG PLus. [/QUOTE]
