Not sure about TRI, have to talk to the Dictator-for-Life-Until-Next-Year (Lucia) about it.
What about delamination? We got a Makergear M2 in the printer raffle, and I used it last year to print string pots for the team out of ABS, but in addition to warpage, I had issues with layers just not sticking together, no matter how hot I ran things. I gave up on ABS and printed stuff from PLA this year, and recently discovered PETG. PET doesn't absorb moisture (I know!), doesn't warp, and isn't as brittle as PLA, though not quite as strong as ABS. It can be a bit messy to print since it's super gooey and stringy at temperature, but since I can't get ABS working for me....
I looked around and
3DXTech does a carbon fiber or glass fiber filled PETG that I might try if I need more strength from a part.
You people are weird... Now if you'll excuse me, I have some code to debug and I need to figure out where to get tank tracks. - sciguy125 [more]
