/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Whoops posted in the last thread

I'm going to be 3D printing automotive logos, so I need a material that retains at least decent strength and retains colors very well after years and years of moderate UV exposure, ie. being outdoors but in northern Europe where there isn't that much UV light.
Is ASA my best option? I'll also be applying an UV resistant clear coat if that is of any help.

Also, any recommendations on where I should buy this ASA filament in Northern Europe/Europe in general?

Really? Can a thin clear coat really work that well? What about longevity, will such a coat really last that long? Because if that is all that is needed I'm going with PLA

Why the fuck can't the 3D printers just measure how much filament they used and tell me afterwards so i know how much is left on my spool?

Does heat affect induction bed sensor detection distance? I think i've had varying first layer heights with different bed temperatures
