You have to have some way to store filament:
I am printing another set of brackets. That's not even half of my filament collection.

Do you dry the filament before using it? Storing it in the open like that I would think it would absorb moisture
You don’t even want to see my collection.
happiness is a perfect first layer:
Actually, that is HQA brand PLA+ I used it at 205/60 (68 since I have a glass bed) The PETG is just as nice if not nicer in the same brand. I run it at 235/55 (63 glass bed)That first layer looks great, is it so smooth because you are using PETG? My PLA first layers always have some "grain" to them.
My PLA printing has been going well but I just started experimenting with PETG the other day and still need to get my settings dialed in, the first layer is stringy and not bonding to itself. What kind of settings changes did you need to make between PLA and PETG?
Here is my completed frag rack. I think it turned out pretty good. The weight at the bottom the rack helps a lot. I used superglue on the joints, that doesn't look that great....
Here is my AIO Coral QT with it installed
I've uploaded this design to Thingiverse - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3439019
Works well for me. I've been through 3 rolls, 1 white 2 black, and I haven't had any issues. Every PETG I've used is a little stringy, this isn't nearly as bad as some. I'm printing it using a Microswiss all metal hot end at 245C, bed at 80C, fans off on layer 1 and 75% on layer 4 up. I print everything at .1 layer height which is slow I know but I get good results.

Quick question. I am looking to get a printer. Budget is about $500. What is best for reef stuff?
(I suspect this is like asking what light/salt to buy, but I want to hear some options)
