I’ve been thinking about print-in-place joints, and playing with my new multi-head printer.

Has anyone been playing around with making one half of a joint from PLA and the other from PETG to get snugger PIP joints? Seems like that would be a good way to get real right tolerances without bonding.

I did a casual search and I couldn’t find anyone talking about it.

    ive done this on small parts with an AMS and it works well for snug joints, except on a single-nozzle setup the contamination weakened the part too much. if you have multiple nozzles, this is a great idea IMO
