Well THAT was close…and the other corners are showing signs of fatigue as well…looks like the physician will be spending some time healing thyself.
Is it PLA?
It was…and at, like, 20% infil. The replacements are 100%
I’ve run it before, just not on this printer. It doesn’t have a heated bed. Have a Prusa on order which should improve things…I’ll have three working printers shortly after that…it’s just that right now I nearly had zero.
I had a petg part shatter when dropped. It was good layer adhesion, just poor bond from the chemicals I guess.
If I want crazy strength it’s ABS. Also crazy to print with, and getting a good layer bond is tricky. One of these days I’ll try nylon or hips.
Nylon is too flexible, I have a roll of hips I’ve been meaning to try.
Good info. It was cheap petg that shattered, so that’s probably why, though it was supposed to be natural. I’d still recommend it over PLA.
One PET-G might not act the same as another. As I understood from our chemist, it is still quite a large collection of different polymers. So not all experiences with PET-G will be equal.
@Mike_Miller this looks pretty similar to a part @Eclsnowman has recently sent over to me. I believe this weekend I will be milling these out of Al., if the new part matches this one be happy to mill an extra couple for you.
That’s what I need…to add CNC to my machine shop…I just wish I had the SPACE! 
Mine’s over here: https://github.com/sniglet/Ingentilire/blob/master/Printable%20Parts/10mmRodSupportV2.stl
The Machine is down for some much needed wiring upgrades, it’ll keep.
I can confirm what @Daid_Braam says. I had a spool of petg that was Total rubbish. More Brittle than pla.
