I started 3d printing back when you had to build it all from scratch, and it seemed ABS was the only filament to be found. PLA came along soon enough and made things sooo much easier. Then came some more exotic ones like TPU or Nylon I think, but I never tried them out because they seemed pretty niche.

But now I’m getting back into it after some time and am seeing PETG popping up more and it seems to have become one of the mainstream materials now.

Are there any other key materials I should become aware of these days? Has PETG started to replace ABS as a superior “high-temp” filament? Does anyone have experience with these?

    How are the voc’s? I just upgraded to a p1p and I’ve just finishing building out an enclosure for it. Not actually sure what the extruder on this is rated for but I’m upgrading the hotend to hardened steel next so I can print a bento box in asa.

    Might give PC a look if it’s something I think this printer can handle.
