Yeah I did wonder whether or not the screw heads where printable. I'm trying to figure out some way to support the head during the printing process while minimizing material usage. Did you try them ? I don't know, standard screws still seem easier to install and more standard. I don't have...

https://www.matterhackers.com/store/l/black-mh-build-series-nylon-cf-filament-175mm-1kg/sk/MPF7FHLR Nylon CF mass density is around 2g / cm3 while steel is around 8g / cm3. The package you mentioned is 1.88 pound which means that you'd only need 0.2 kg of nylon CF to get the same amount of...

Faire enough for PLA, but I didn't mean it as a definitive. Wouldn't ABS CF be suitable for the heated chambers given that ABS glass transition temperature is around 105° C ? Fair enough, but upgrading the best maintained open source 3D printer still seems like a more reasonable path to me.

Thank your for the detailed answer. Do you think there are some interesting less convetional 3D printing material that would the trick like a mix of PLA and carbon fiber ? I firmly believe in the plus-value of self-reproducibility.

I'm trying to max out self-reproducibility of voron-0 / avoid supply chain headaches. I was wondering if you could print the fasteners that make up Voron-0. My guess is not anywhere close heated elements (print bed, print head). I'm not sure if it's strong engough for the rest of the printer...

Ok could you expand a bit on * ?

Question is in the title
