 Hi :)

I am currently looking into building an enclosure around my bot.
Wondering how much temperature I can have within, without damaging any wires/belts and what nots :) Anyone have any idea?

  I am aware that the printed parts in PLA is the first thing to go should the temp reach higher than 50 degrees. Any suggestions what material I should print new parts in?:)

  I have built an enclosure for my bot and I get the chamber up in the 90-100C and I don't have any problems so far, and I have been printing like that for about 8 months now. I just posted about it you can check some pics.

  my side brackets are PLA and they are holding I havent seen any temp damage. the ones that goes above the heated bed are ABS and they are working great no deflexion due to the high temp even thou ABS has a glass transition temp of about 105C, so I am operating borderline to it but they are holding
