PLA should be fine. I was also printing purely on PLA before but start to switched to ABS cause its more stronger on thinner parts as its more maleable compare to PLA and more heat resistance. I found that good ABS filament with right bed temperature doesnt warp even without those glues. Try the HatchBox brand on amazon. But yah ABS smell some burning plastic but not an issue for me cause my printing is on my garage anyway.
Using hatchbox ABS, I have kapton tape on printbed, heated on 100F and never got a wraping. I tried on the same settings with some other brand and it never stick.
Another cool find. If you decided to go to AC rounter and still want to have automatic on/off for router, I found this socket trigger relay on amazon for $28. Just need to connect the spindle signal and ground.
For trigger on, the spindle speed should be greater than 10k, e.g. gcode: M3 S10000, else it wont trigger PWM high value for the relay.
Thanks Mark, it’s not Solid State Relay. It is Mechanical relay. I don’t know how much can handle. If someone is expert about the difference, nice looking equipment.
@AlanDavis - It says it is rated at 12 amp total. My Makita router is rated at 6.5 amps, so you could possibly have this control both your router and your vacuum if they do not exceed that rating.
It works well on me. I dont need to power my vacuum from that relay and its actually other way around. I power it from my vacuum, I have festooll vacuum where it detects power draw and automatically switch.
