CF PETG printed parts?
Added 2019-03-27 20:35:23 +0000 UTCA lot of people have been asking if they can buy CF PETG parts from me and I've done a couple extra sets and have decided to try it for now. I have NO clue what to charge but I have plenty of printers with hardened nozzles and access to plenty of Atomic CF PETG at the moment and have a general idea of my costs. Basically 3-4 days straight of printing, plus about 40% of a $50 spool of filament, a bit of part cleanup and then a dry fit for the rods to make sure they don't need any extra care.
I've priced US shipping with USPS Priority at $10 for shipping, international shipping would be done on a case by case basis but I'm cool with shipping to most places, an entire set of MK3s parts which included the Einsy box. I would charge $70 ($80 to non-patrons) for the printed parts and $10 for shipping. Prints would be done in Atomic CF PETG unless a different brand is requested with 4 perimeters and 30% gyroid infill. Super beefy parts that should last the test of time.
Bonus I'd also do the same if someone wanted a full 2.0 Bear kit with the way better Zaribo Einsy case that has cable management built in. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3239428
The only issue is the fan shroud. CF PETG isn't the best at heat deflection so I may have to spring for CF PC, buy an enclosure to print regular PC, find a High Temp PETG that isn't brittle as heck, or something else. For now just want some feedback on finally putting my printers to work vs just printing really cool prints by Vedran. :)
So what are your thoughts on this???
