Time flies !!
In 2015 I wrote a story on how I printed caps for my fence. You can read that story here: http://lucstechblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/fence-caps-few-moths-ago-my-son-in-law.html
The caps where printed in PLA.
As I love color I printed every cap in a different color. Yellow, Orange, Blue and Green. And my neighbours never complained.
But look at them now:
After nearly 10 year they are totally worn down.
They served me well. Endured high summer temperatures (it was 35 degrees Celsius last summer), freezing winters, snow, rain, wind and hailstorms
So I am printing new ones. And again in different colors: black, red, white, purple, and just to see what happens: glow in the dark. If they also last about 10 years that suits me fine.
PLA is alledgedly biodegradable but dont take your hopes up too high.
Till next time,
have fun
