Yes, you can run two PLA filaments & print two-tone, which will be fun in the fullness of time. I'm sure you'll be fine with picture glass, but if the heat does eventually get to it, search ebay for Boro - you can get it much cheaper from China than from within the UK. I bought a can of supermarket own-brand 'firm hold' hairspray and that seems to be helping considerably. It's not perfect - I've still got issues with edges curling up - but it's a lot better.

I'd say so. I'm currently using PLA plastic, I think a lot of stuff you buy generally is made out of ABS, which I'm yet to try. Even so, what I've made with the settings I've used has been strong and feels like it'll be durable. Obviously time will tell. A

Depends on the direction. Bonds between layers can be quite weak, but strength within a layer is comparable to an injection moulded part.

Yeah, my experience is nearer Kos's than Ant's, but different machines & I'm a novice. There's a stratification which doesn't matter in a sympathetic plane, but weakens the object (a bit) cross-grain. "We all have flaws, and mine is being wicked."

I've not done any tests of strength, or made anything that will take a load, but I imagine yours and Kos's experience is right. My stuff "seems" strong, but layer/wall height definitely makes a different to the perception of strength. A

A unicorn. Horn and tail printed separately. My first successful print of something with 4 legs requiring a brim and supports. A few failures to get to this point. The banding round the middle isn't great. After I removed the chin/head support A

Playing happily, Ant, though I've had a spot of trouble with failed prints after using a 'woodfill' filament - it seems to have clogged up my nozzles, J. I've been making objects that are, nominally at least, vases. I keep the left extruder for PLA at the moment and the right for ABS, but in time I'm going to have to try dividing a model into zones and printing two-tone in different PLA filaments.

I've heard woodfilament can really Fuck your nozzle because it's so abrasive.

Nice. I made a little vase. I'm tempted with the risky idea of changing filament halfway through a print at some point to get a top/bottom split. A
