Why not just use ASA?

Because this is the cheapest filament I have and since it’s printed it costs me nothing more to find out.

Heinz and I chatted about filament material already. We both know PETG is not the right material here but I’d rather throw away $7 of petg vs $20 of something else if the file wasn’t 100% on.

Yes I am, I am also curious to see how it holds up too. I have PETG printed part in an intake system of a car that's been going for 2-3yrs now and its holding, but I think that one is not in as high of a heat affected zone as this part.

Pretty sure it won’t 😜

Yeeeah I don't really expect it to survive the Texas summer, but still a fun experiment.

Thanks!

Are you planning on running the PETG part? Curious how it'll hold up to engine bay temps.
