@SmartHomeScene I have been keeping half an eye on ESPectre for some time now but haven't bitten the bullet on setting it up yet. TOMMY seems like an interesting project since it adds stationary presence detection and Matter support.
@Shapr3D I'm trying to get it printed since the design is so cool but it just isn't possible with the free version. The Curves have to little detail ... Could you share the 3mf file? That also gives us insight in how you orient your prints to minimise the supports.

We invited @SteveMakesEverything to put the M1 Filament Maker and R1 Shredder to the test — from failed prints and scraps to fully customized filament.
Watch how easy it is to:
·Recycle failed prints and old filament
·Customize colors and materials
·Control every step with the smart touchscreen
·Produce high-quality filament for your 3D printer
Full workflow, real results — see it all in the video!
Here is how we would answer this question:
PET is Terephthalic acid (TPA) reacting with ethylene glycol (EG)
If you remove some glycol (EG) and replace it with Cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM) in the reaction, you obtain PETG.
(G stands for glycol-modified, as in modifying the existing glycol, not adding ethylene glycol)
And to extend further:
If you replace more than 50% of EG by CHDM, we usually call it PCTG, and if you replace all EG by CHDM you obtain PCT.
Feel free to share if you learnt something new 😊
