amazing print, works best when scaled up to at least 130% with the shaft’s length and width scaled down 1%. I made mine 200% with PETG translucent. with WD40 and olive oil (don’t ask why) it ran as low as 1psi and with a vacuum ran so fast i couldn’t stop it burning my fingers in the process 🤣

junk no parts fit to gether and printed on perfect settings multiple times even after sanding it’s to tight. don’t waste your filament
