I put my order in for a creator 5 pro as it seems to have a lot of potential with 4 tool heads and a heated chamber and 320°c nozzle temp. I have an FD RX7 and there are some parts i’d like to make but i’m not 100% sure what filaments would be best.
I want to make oil cooler ducts for the front bumper and I was thinking ASA would be the best material for that.
I want to make rear speaker grilles. The touring model doesn’t have rear speakers and a company that makes them specifically for it charges $350 for two grilles. I’ve seen people print speaker grilles flat and then use a 3d printed mold and heat gun to shape the grilles to keep from printing a lot of supports. Now my question is what would be the best material to keep it from warping in the sun, the rear glass on that car could melt steel beams if you used it like a magnifying glass and some 3d printed filler caps that i had for the old parcel tray warped into square bowls. I would like to prevent that with speaker grilles.
Most importantly i want to make brackets to mount an ac condenser to the radiator as i have a v-mount intercooler/radiator set up and no one makes a solution for that and i really want to put AC back in the car because when it’s 85 and humid in Pennsylvania the car is absolutely miserable to sit in. What would be the best filament to use for that which would withstand the heat from the radiator?
