Can I print the exhaust cover and filament holder in PLA/PLA+?

[ocean birch]

Getting close to finishing this Formbot kit and they didn't include the exhaust parts other than the little hexagonal grate and a 60/20 fan. I am also missing the spool holder.

I figure since they aren't structural and not directly in the chamber, I can probably get away with PLA+ until I can reprint in ABS?

[ornate sparrow]

are you set on using the exhaust? many of us don't, for the reason of improving chamber temperatures for ABS/ASA printing

[ocean birch]

that's good to know! I can always leave the doors open when printing lower temp stuff like PLA. I guess you just leave the grid in that spot and call it a day?

you want to keep the temperature in the chamber for abs/asa printing, so an exhaust cover might be a good idea

thank you, I might be able to fit that on my resin printer to get it up and running and then replace it with the roper ABS part once I get mine up and running

@ocean birch sounds like this is the last part of your printer, right

cause we can get you printed it abs

i think i had one for a while outta petg

pretty close, I'm working on installing firmware now then need to connect the CANBUS and tune it

[ornate sparrow]

I think they’re saying they’ve got the plate already

[wide depot]

it will work temporarily

I have the nozzle piece that threads into it for filament but no holder (I can resin print that though for now). Also need to setup sensorless homing on XY, but I'm close to done 😄 (So excited)

Why do sensorless homing out of curiosity?

[storm hawk]

because, why not?

either my ex wife or my cats have done something with them and can't find them lol. I have tap for Z

I think she also threw away some of the screws I had

many a trip to the hardware store

and then a trip to the vet to get the cats x-rayed 😆

[ocean birch]

pretty sure it was the ex, she hated my hobbies and interests (one of the reasons this kit sat around unbuilt for 4 years)

but my youngest cat has also shown great interest in "helping"

[storm hawk]

cats do like printers, we see a lot of them here

[ocean birch]

My other 2 don't care, but this is Willow, my 9 mo mainecoon, she loves it LOL

Thank you all for the answers, I'll get some temp stuff thrown on my resin printer for now if it fits and replace once I'm up and printing

Thank you! All goes well I should be asking for my serial this week 😁🤞
