For one client we 3D print with polycarbonate (or Poly & Her
Carbonates as referred to with the client). We're using e-Sun
brand filament and their spools at first glance are like any
other, styrene spool with 1kg of filament on it. But then you
notice that instead of the two halves of the spool being glued
together, they're assembled with two M6x40mm bolts with
double-thickness nuts. </font><font face="Arial"><font face="Arial">M6! To hold the two halves of a thin polystyrene
spool together?</font><br>
<br>
It's not that I object to a "free" supply of nice hardware, but
wouldn't bolting it together be a little overkill? Also seems
more expensive than dipping one half in glue and shoving it into
mating tabs on the other like everyone else does?<br>
