Hey fellas! I live in stony plain Alberta and the temp like to swing a solid 80 degrees celcius over the year. I'm doing a new stereo build for my car and want to put my lowly ender 3 neo to work! It's modded to all heck and I can put it in my workshop if I need a heated chamber. Now here's my question. In the summer it's not unusual to see North of 35c/95f which means in car temps when parked can reach 50c/125f now will PETG survive this? Or do I need to go with ABS?
I could google it but I'd much rather listen to guy accuse Nathan of making up words while JJ prints a golden toilet in the background.
Cheers fellas! Look forward to the next episode.
P.S. I can't remember if I said this or not initially. I'll be making speaker pods that live on the dash next to the A pillar. Normally I'd do wood and fiberglass. Justin

I initially purchased a Prusa printer with the understanding that I could continuously upgrade it through available kits as new versions are released. However, I’m beginning to question whether this approach is truly beneficial. Do you believe it is sensible for Prusa to design the MK5 in a manner that allows full upgrading from the MK4, or could this strategy be inadvertently hindering significant innovation?
Love the podcast!'' Jim

What are your thoughts on the best base or location for a printer? Something soft to absorb vibration or hard and heavy to be sturdy, or a layering of different materials? Ben
