@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems PEEK is an amazing material… very chemically inert (almost as good as Teflon), and easy to machine with good mechanical properties (unlike Teflon, which is like machining butter). One of my favorite materials!
I know that wasn’t the point of the post but felt I had to promote the light grey-brown goodness that is PEEK.

@doc@mastodon.social oh I fuckin love it. a friend wanted to DIY a PEEK 3d printing setup with a consumer device just for the challenge (after nylon and PP normal plastics don't do it for her anymore, something that must be annealed seems to hold more appeal)
