+@Cristian_Martinez I had a few delamination cracks in one or two of the parts but for what it was being used for it didn’t matter to me that much. I was printing a cyclone dust separator I found on Thingiverse for my CNC router.I print more with ABS than other materials. It’s only tall thin walls on large prints that give me a problem form time to time with cracks. All my other ABS prints come out fine.
My current electric rate’s are slightly higher at $0.109/kwh now, but it only increases the end cost by 1 cent. Cheap coal with the additional factor of lots of hydroelectric power in my area of the country is nice missing/deleted image from Google+
@Jason_D nice! Now i was told i can recycle failed or broken ABS prints into a paste with acetone that i can use to patch up cracks and delamination in other prints. Is this something you have any experience with?
Havent used it to patch cracks myself, but have done a good amount of acetone vapor smoothing and used acetone to weld together parts. I usually pri t ABS because thats what customers specify or i need the temperature resistance. Homestly though if you dont need it to be as heat resistant as ABS and dont plan on vapor smoothing it, PETG or other filaments have aost all the benefits.of abs and are sometimes easier to print
