🔥 Safety Note (Bulbs)

Use LED bulbs only (recommended for both PETG and PLA). Avoid incandescent/halogen bulbs due to heat.

PLA vs PETG (Quick Note)

• PLA: Easiest to print, crisp detail, great for cool-running LED setups. Lower heat resistance—stick to LED only.
• PETG: Tougher and more heat-tolerant than PLA, slightly more flexible, and a great choice for everyday use—still best with LED bulbs for safety and longevity.
