I need to find a good spray primer for #PETG.
I’m surprised company like Sherwin Williams aren’t selling things earmarked for use with 3D printed materials.
My understanding is that I should sand the PETG, use primer, then sand primer… wanted to verify that was correct. #3dprinting

With that said, [Alan Reiner] had great success with a simple idea <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/1r3ysks/multimaterial_rigid_flexible_print_exceeded/?share_id=rCDah_ESmiWmQ_Y7Lbkab&utm_content=1&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1" target="_blank">to create a surprisingly capable scissor jack with a multi-material print.</a></p>
<p>The design will look familiar if you’ve ever pulled the standard jack out of the back of your car. However, this one isn’t made fully out of steel. It relies on an M6 bolt and a rivet nut, but everything else is pure plastic. In this scissor jack design, rigid PETG arms are held in a scissor jack shape with a flexible TPU outer layer. Combined with the screw mechanism, it’s capable of delivering up to 400 pounds of force without failing. It’s an impressive figure for something made out of 80 grams of plastic. The idea came about because of [Alan’s] recent build of a RatRig VCore4 printer, whi](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/116/088/685/853/048/695/small/bed43c5b941ce1c0.png)
