Re: paint
These are switch covers for Mooney aircraft. I use ABS, acetone-based spray paint, and a 50W laser engraver. Someone here, (I do not remember who), suggested the paint-ABS combination. The paint REALLY sticks well.

Re: Covid Mask
The whole 'wear a mask in public' thing is kind of funny. I see loads of people with cloth masks, constantly fiddling with them with their virus-infested fingers, which makes it worse than useless to wear. Printed masks will work well, if you use the right filter media, and do not touch and contamin...

Re: Replica Statue
Wow! They look identical, (minus the repairs, of course).
I am curious, how does the one on the left look to you compared to the table top? The one on the right is of similar color to the table top.

Re: Petg extruding problems
Every so often, I find that crap gets in the nozzle. I do not know if it comes from the filament or from dust in the air, but it seems to stay in the nozzle until I take a torch to it. If you have never done that, it is easy and painless, so I recommend you try.

Re: .75mm Nozzle and print speed
It is not so much Print Speeds as heating capacity. It takes a certain amount of power to melt a flow of plastic, and the filament heaters have a limit; try to put plastic through the extruder any faster, and it just will not work. You likely have excess heat available at common print speeds, but th...

Re: Squeal at end of print.
I had a similar problem; the know on the Z-axis rod was pinched by the wire housing on the extruder assembly.

Re: Printing nylon on glass bed
Seems to be a lot of work. Have you tried glue stick on top of Kapton? That has always worked well for me on both my M2 and Markforged.

Re: HIPS
I have recently tried using HIPS as support material for ABS and PLA. You remove it, (dissolve it), using Limonene. Unfortunately, the limonene also softens ABS, so that does not work. It works really well with PLA, though. I had a long, small hole that I had to print in the horizontal. I put just a...
