Creality Ender 3 KE and PETG, took a while to get the parameters right but now seems good, I might try with nylon later

Thought you might be using one of those newfandagled resin jobbies. Not tried PETG but had real problems with nylon not sticking to the bed. Need to build an enclosure to keep the draught out.

I have tried nylon but it was very spongy and not sharp but now that I have sorted the parameters I think I know why. The PETG is fine and is used for automotive small parts so is ok for temps and weather

You probably need to do a decent production run. There are many on here that would buy some, me included. . . . . how much for a pack of 10 ?

Hi Pete, without taking my trim off is 10 the quantity needed? I cant for the life of me remember now, it was quite a while back I took it off and at the moment I cant be arsed to pull it off.
I have sent 10 to one of the chaps on the P38 Facebook site to be a guinea pig for testing out. Hopefully they will pass muster and I can crack em out

I cannot remember how many are needed for a full set, I would imagine probably £3:00 each plus postage. Going by what they were being sold for originally the price varied wildly toward the end of supply. So I will probably do a per unit or discount for a set. Still a work in process really, I aint going to charge what some are!!

LR Cat shows either 11 or 14 clips for lower trim depending on VIN.

Will you be selling shares in your new enterprise?

I don't think the shares will be worth much unfortunately, I am not going to be charging what they really cost, I have to take care of my fellow enthusiasts
If any one has requests for other unavailable bits let me know, if I can do them I will

Let me get the trim back off at the weekend and I’ll count how many I’ve got and how many are missing and I’ll take a full set.
I think 14 was mentioned above if that helps?
