[Daniel225]

Hi ill be getting into the 3d printing hobby tomorrow found a good 2nd hand ender creality 3 v2 got a few ideas like my own frag racks and hats for my urchin etc but what filament is safe for reef ? Ideally wanting it from Amazon and black in colour and some UV colours what’s safe?

PETG seems to be the safest choice, using it for a few months without any issues.

This works well for me.
PETG

+1 for PETG, but I'm also in the PLA is fine crowd. I have both in my system.

In my Fluval EVO I printed a media basket around six months ago from PETG. There has been zero issues with it so far or any sort of ill effect on the tank. I also have a PLA piece (dosing hose adapter) that has held up nicely as well for 2 months.

I have used the Hatchbox PETG worked fine. My normal PETG is from 3DXtech

I use the CC3D Silk Gold PLA filament for my Ender 3 printer. These filament are fairly durable eco-friendly PLA filament that comes in 13 different colors and doesn’t require a heated bed or polishing to produce stable prints.
Love this filament it prints very nice and lays out nicely.

If PLA is submerged for extended periods of time it will eventually dissolve.
