Has anyone come across any literature comparing various machine coolants/cutting fluids chemical compatibility with various 3d Printing materials?
Does anyone have any advise on how to quickly get some answers about that?
I'd like to investigate any issues with either dimensional changes, like swelling. I'm also curious about corrosion over time, if not cleaned off parts. Talking about time as in weeks, maybe months, not years.
I know the typical Loc Lines used for flooding coolant are Acetal. So that's obviously a stable-enough, non-reactive material.
Any other ideas?
Materials might be PLA, ABS, ASA, Nylon12, PC, PETG, and the like. Ultem is a consideration but I believe that'd be a-ok.
