Reef Safe 3D Printing Filament

[dantimdad]

Does anybody happen to have or know where to get a file to print a nem guard for a Neptune WAV pump? I found already printed ones on Etsy but would like to print my own

try thangs.com

Has anyone had luck with Microcenter (aka Inland-branded) filaments?

 

[dantimdad]

I used them a couple of times. What I noticed was, they are wound badly after about 1/2 a roll. I really did like the print results up to that point. It was a year between purchases and same issue so I tend to believe they haven't fixed it.

Whooops! I forgot to reply.

BTW, check out American Filament. They are local to me and I just printed with three different colors of theirs over the holidays. FANTASTIC!

Has anyone used Prusament ASA? I don't have any ABS on hand and recently noticed that my CaRx silencer that I made literally melted/warped/degraded/brittle. So I took it out and want to print it again with a better plastic, I think I used pla, maybe petg.

Are you asking if ASA is reef safe? Or are you asking if Prusament ASA is a good filament?

I've not used it yet, but according to all the info I can find, ASA seems like a good fit for a marine environment.

Prusament PetG holds up well in a marine environment. Prints easy, as well.

KVP ABS is by far the best quality ABS on the market.

I hae googled the crap out this question and can only get split opinions. At the end of the day PETG is considered reef safe. So I'm buying that going forward. Here is another great question. What is the PETG+ and what "enhancements" do they put in it? No one knows that either. I'm worried it's like silicone. Some silicones add "mold inhibitors" so that makes it not reef safe. 100% silicone is but its a pain in the rear to get straight answers from anyone.

I've had Amazon basic PLA white in my tank for a year and half. No ill effects, I also do monthly ICP tests and have not seen any traces of toxins, no abnormal levels of silicate. I actually had to dose silicate to drown out dinos.

Interesting. No deformation or anything?

Would Bambu PLA-CF be fine in the tank?
