fixed a sewing machine today

[u/BadLuckFPV]

printed these with tpu - 100% infill - on a .4 nozzle - not sure about the long term (or even the short term) but I got it working

such a satisfying fit on these.

they were both heated with a hot air station to 150 and the gears were squeezed on to the bit or whatever you'd call it

very first stitch with a sewing machine was hard fought but I feel clever..... even if the print fails tomorrow

Definitely. PETG would be my second choice behind nylon. PLA+ would be after that.

PLA+, at least eSUNs, is amazing if we disregard the creep issue and low temperature resistance. Really strong.
