Imagine waiting that long for a tiny piece of metal that basically just makes holes. The hype around some of these specialty tools gets wild. By the time it shows up, the whole project you needed it for has probably fallen apart on its own. Your friend must have the patience of a saint, or their entire life is on hold for this one drill bit. Feels like ordering some rare artifact instead of a tool.

Have you ever seen someone's gear get ruined because people borrowed it without asking? My buddy Mike had his favorite drill left out in the shop, and it came back with a cracked handle. He was so mad, but instead of yelling, he bought a tough case with a combo lock. Now when people see it, they know not to touch his things without permission. It's like the case itself does the talking, and he doesn't have to get into arguments.

From my experience, PETG is the way to go for stuff that needs to bend a little without snapping. It's less brittle than PLA and handles everyday use pretty well. Just make sure your printer bed is level and you're golden.

Yeah, letting things drip slow like that applies to so much, right @emman68?

Tried that once, @finleycooper. My oak looked like a cat scratched it.
