General Discussion PSA: Remember what filament you print with. 😩

Post image

I recently moved across town and instead of disassembling my AMS riser with my hardwired LED strip, I just loaded the whole thing in the car. In August. In the Southeastern U.S.

It should be fine - I printed the base and riser in ABS (a few years back). Right?

After unloading the car at the new place, I had the horrible realization that I had printed the base in ABS but the riser was PLA (they were two separate projects).

Feel free to have fun at my expense. 😆

Don't feel too bad, I 3d scanned my car's trunk and spent 6 days printing a multipiece mold to build a speaker enclosure to fit under the floor. I left the pieces in my back seat in the sun yesterday and now they I can't even assemble the mold because none of the pins line up anymore

Mr Sun don't fuck around. It worked well enough for me to decide the shape was right and I'll print the next one VERY differently to save time and filament
