QT is still asleep but everything survived the night and not new STN/RTN. One of the Acroberry frags was looking a little rough before the dip but it looks better this morning with the lights off.

Just in case someone in my wife's class has a favorite color of "clear".

You can't really tell but it's kind of a "frosted glass" look.

It's not as white as it looks in the picture.

They're one of the sponsors on Reef2Reef. Lots of us use them.

That's cool. I looked at their website and saw that they are pretty affordable too. Maybe I have a new lighting plan.

Nobody tell @JoJosReef but I messed with the level on the printer a little bit yesterday during the last print for the transparent filament. I switched to a different roll this morning (my wife needs 9 different colors) and the white printed almost flawlessly! Yay!!!

Trying a new filament tonight, Hatchbox PETG, it looks great and the finish looks great, but I'm having a lot of stringing issues. Dried for 12 hours and 12%, recommends 230-260 nozzle temp and I dropped mine to 220, still stringy. My cooling fan is at 30%, I might try lowering it more to see if that helps. It's not horrible but definitely going to require more post cleanup.

Different brands different "Oh what do I do now!"

I saw a video where some guy took a heat gun and did a quick "blast" of the printed object and those little strings disappeared quick! I was thinking of trying it out.

I used a lighter the other day, and except for the burning plastic smell, worked well.
