I have another one if neccessary, but I think the screw shafts on it are clogged with plastic, so it might take some work as well.

    It definitely works on PETG, PLA and most other plastics. I use it on some of my prints that need to be watertight. It leaks through the tiny cracks and seals them. Have you actually used acetone on any of these filaments…? I use them regularly for this purpose and I can’t understand why you would say it “doesn’t do much”…?

      Softening and that, maybe? But it really depends on the filament brand too, as far as I’m aware, acetone doesn’t readily dissolve in acetone which is what’s meant by not doing much

      Petg is pretty resistant, why PETs used for bottles.

      Personal experience cleaning up clogged nozzles by immersing them, yeah acetone barely touched the petg
