Was hoping I got good enough layer adhesion here, and I may have, but cracks formed at the pin holes.
Fortunately did not have this happen while firing. I noticed the cracks when inspecting the gun at my desk, flexed it, and it completely snapped.
Figured I would share as an example to others. Filament choice is super important in 3D2A. Be careful.

Oh yeah Esun pla+ is fine. I prefer polymaker since they seem more 2A aligned. But I wouldn't have an issue loading Esun and printing with it.

Yeah I really liked the esun black and grey but I got some fde and metallic black I wanna try out after I’m done printing this orca haha. Want to reprint the v2 in fde I feel it would look a lot better lmfao. I just haven’t done enough testing on other brands other then these two to test strength and durability unfortunately
