Get ABS filament first. Don't think about anything else.

Post by Flavored Coffee »

Hello,

It would be nice, if the Assembly Manual, included the first line you should buy because, it's ABS. The first thing you're going to want to print is the Fan Shroud for the Peek Fan on the HotEnd. As it turns out, ABS, can handle higher temperatures and you don't need an abundance of the more durable at room temperature nylon. Any ideas in regard to surplus, should start after you've bought the line you need most first.

I doubt I will ever need ABS. PLA is working well for me.

The PEEK fan shroud and layer fan shroud should be printed in ABS, but that's really it.

Isn't Seemecnc supplying some ABS with the kits or have they stopped doing that?

Now it makes sense, I did buy an Orion also.
Thank you.
