@Trey_Coursey cant print PETG at 230°C?
@Cristian_Martinez I don’t think so, have an original Maker Bot with PLA.
How high can the hotend get?
I wanna set up some lighting like this. Did you cut the PEX tubing or are they whole?
@Cristian_Martinez I looked at getting the 100’ roll but went with the 5’ straight lengths. Not sure I would have ever got the roll straight enough! It’s great for ARCHS too.
Yeah i bought PVC for archs but it wouldnt bend properly lol
@Cristian_Martinez PEX is what you want not PVC. May not be available in your area. It’s more flexible and translucent for this kind of thing. It’s what plumbing in US is done with in all recent housing.
Im in the US 
we have the red and blue pex plumbing at home. Would i find this stuff at like Lowes or home depot?
@Cristian_Martinez yep should. I bought at Lowe’s in 5’ lengths. But it’s sold in rolls of 50 and 100’ lengths too.
Awesome. So no need to cut the tube in half? Like lengthwise?
@Cristian_Martinez you could I thought about it but didn’t have table saw.
So you have the whole pex tube then? And about those nylon things you mentioned. Got a picture?
@Cristian_Martinez I’ll try and get you a pic or video tomorrow.
Awesome. Thanx!
@Trey_Coursey Yeah, would like to see a close up as well. Does look very cool.
@Trey_Coursey Massive props for posting about the PEX as a diffuser. Got some today and it looks great…will change the look of several projects for the better, and easier at the same time. Thanks much.
@Paul_Guthrie No problem! I have received much help already in this community, happy to share my experience and thoughts. One thing you’ll want to consider is how to keep the LEDS oriented inside. I found for me that some nylon straps worked well sandwiched in as I pulled the strings through. The flat portion of these straps will hold the strip down facing away from you in this picture. This gives the LEDS the most spread inside.
The nylon of the straps is translucent enough not to block the light bouncing around. Here is a picture of what I did, I posted in another thread. Enjoy! Merry Christmas.

@Paul_Guthrie And here is a link to them on Amazon. At first I was cutting them in half and rolling the two pieces up, it was difficult but I was unsure if the 100 I had would go the full 50’ I was trying to string up. This way I show in the picture should work just as good and be much easier to stuff in while pulling the strip through. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017C89F1C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
