I'm looking into easy fixture solutions and was thinking about 3D printed fixtures. Would that be possible. I'm wondering if I could make some fixture arms, or even some standoffs, or if needed some complex fixtures. That being said, what filament would work well for both precision and accuracy as well as durability. PLA and ABS look like good candidates. Or am I wasting my time?
I have a side business doing 3d printing. I print mainly motorcycle accessories for the racers (I race myself, see my avitar pic). I use PLA for prototyping then PETG for the actual parts because of the heat.
In this situation, I think PLA would be the best. PETG is stronger but also more flexible. PLA would be more rigid which would be perfect for an inspection room. Just don't drop a heavy part on it cause it will break.
