@Normad 6R   PETG is the same plastic they use to make soft drink bottles out of,   it is not rubber but printed thin it has some flexibility.  use the highest temp list on the box for extruder the bed temp use 65 deg and make sure you use retraction if you don't you will have lots of strings.  to join 2 pieces together use Weldon 3 it is a solvent bond.  use acetone to bond ABS.  I do not use PLA as it deforms at 75 deg no good for robots.   PETG is very resistant to damage.  if you think differently try to rip a coke bottle good luck with that.

nallycat, you seem to know a lot about 3d printers, the dos and don'ts.

Can you make a list or your findings? I know it will help me and others.

Also let's see some of your prints,

thanks,

hi EzAng

1 first see that you have all item's,filament,UHU sticks,isopropyl 90% 2learn your printer ,buttons how to use it. 3learn your slicer and tinkercad 4learn leveling off the bed very important to even get a print done. 5 test print learn how to get a print to stick on the bed,and how to clean your bed after. you can make a testprint with raft .that gifs you time to see if your bed is level.

@EzAng  I am just finishing the head od ZOE that Mickey was so nice to give us.  it will be just a little longer, you can see one of my two Inmoov robots and they were printed on my flsun large delta printer.  I always use a glass bed with hairspray "AUSSIE" and never have parts warping and coming off the build table.  as you know I don't put much of my work on this site as I am sure you know the reason.  Here is Brucee a few years ago when I made his new elbows. have a look.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfD0saECb0A  I will make a  list for printing when I find the time for you.  all my prints are in PETG with some nylon carbon fiber infused filament  for gears. Thanks for your comment.    glad you will be joining the 3D printing group.
