I&#039;ll start with the material I&#039;ve been using the most which is PETG 1.75mm. I believe this is also a pretty popular material. I use the cheap stuff from micro center and get good prints at a bed temperature of 90c and a hotend temp at about 250c.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Here is a preview of something that I have been working on. It is a 3D printable Sim Clutch. It very closely replicates the feeling of the engagement point of a real clutch. It is designed with interchangeable tracks and springs to adjust the bite point location, compression tension as well as the kick back pressure. The end goal is to make this Sim Clutch a universal Mod that will work with many different Sim Rigs and pedal setups.
