When to use
Parts that need to survive continuous exposure above 100°C, or where high structural integrity at engineering temperatures is required. Light pipes, optical diffusers, and electrical enclosures where translucency is an asset.
When not to use
Applications where print prerequisites — enclosure, high bed temperature, thoroughly dried filament — cannot be reliably met. Parts requiring solvent bonding; use mechanical fasteners or structural adhesive instead.
