I just started messing around with ASA on my i3 clone (Monoprice maker select plus aka wanhao i3 plus) while printing parte for my 2.4. I did make a cardboard enclosure for my printer and had to reprint my bed thumbscrews and cooler in ASA, but otherwise it pretty well. I treated it the exact same as PETG, other than bumping temps. I was honestly pretty surprised. Yeah, the prints aren't perfect, but I also spent zero time tuning the printer for ASA beyond a PID tune.
Voron crew! Granted, you're much further along than I am. Currently working on wiring my first Voron - a 2.2r2. Before that I've had a monoprice maker select plus (a rebranded wanhao) for > 5 years.
Is there a dedicated voron space in the fediverse?
An orrery is a mechanical model of the Solar System that illustrates or predicts the relative positions and motions of the planets and moons, usually according to the heliocentric model.
Making an orrery like this would probably open a rabbit hole with my kids, but that might not be a bad thing.
I started 3d printing back when you had to build it all from scratch, and it seemed ABS was the only filament to be found. PLA came along soon enough and made things sooo much easier. Then came some more exotic ones like TPU or Nylon I think, but I never tried them out because they seemed pretty niche....
I've printed primarily in PETG for a few years now and just started printing voron parts in ASA. ASA is way more rigid than PETG, but PETG will yeild more than ASA before breaking.
2 of 2 polymaker 1 kg spools I've purchased (from Amazon) arrived with dents along their outer lip. I bent them back and, although the result wasn't perfect, didn't have any problems. It does have rethinking my spool holder design so they rotate around their inner lip though.

Context: this is my first printer and those are my first filament set
What is every here printing with?
Currently using a FLSUN Super racer. It’s a delta style printer and fast as hell compared to the printers I had before. 400 hours on it currently....
The simplest device that might reasonably be called an orrery. Made it a few years ago for my daughter. (media.kbin.social)
Beyond PLA and ABS?

Is this new? Latest roll of filament came on a cardboard spool (lemmy.world)
I packed cheese, beef jerky and some other stuff y'all recommended... (lemmy.world)
