plastics are funny cause like, we always make them hollow so i actually have no idea how much something out of solid plastic would weigh
suppose epoxy resin would be a decent estimate though, thats heavy

@snacks figures but like
where the fuck do i get a 10*10cm cube of polypropylene? what about nylon? maybe abs?
i suppose a 3d printer would let me answer this question tho

@snacks fair yea they're sold by the kilogram
but like. i need the equal cubes in my hand. i also need a tungsten cube. why must tungstem be so goddamn expensive

@snacks really? the bed temperatures are pretty spicy so i thought not. at least not consistently

@bea14s abs is like 90c bed temperature? As long as it doesn't trip your thermal fuse and you let the glass bed cool down at a sane speed it should be perfectly fine

@snacks asa is 110. thats hot enough to boil water with. thats crazy

@bea14s i think the nylon was the hottest and i had to change the preset limits on my hotend and bed temps for it

@snacks worst part is im almost definitely going to try that at some point. just build a little tent for it. hell probably not even a tarp but just my poncho. tarps with tie-down holes are bourgeois

@bea14s all my nylon parts only came out well with open enclosure because otherwise it took toonlong to solidify

@snacks thats... really interesting actually. maybe i should try prioritising speed more than i have been so far

@bea14s hard on a bedslinger and i don't think going fast to avoid an enclosure is a good idea tbh. Your print quality will be much better if you don't do that

@snacks but consider: bedslingers amuse me
like i get it, momentum is a huge problem but the stability gained from keeping the 2 most active axes separate is just elegant and makes me feel nice

@bea14s speed benchy records are usually held by bedslingers somehow, at those speeds you also start getting issues with the part flying off your plate from inertia
