If your printer isn't using an RTD or thermocouple as it's temp sensor, comparing print temps isn't much use. Most printers use thermistors, which can vary as much as +/- 20 degrees C at 220.
Plus the variations in materials... Variations in print head design...
Testing on your own machine is...

Metal threaded inserts for plastic. Probably overkill.
I use them a lot on work projects, they last a lot better than just threads in the plastic, especially if you are installing and removing screws often.
Without knowing your slicer setup I'm going to...
Yeah, you want walls of at least 2mm.
Also, for long term durability, hot melt threaded inserts are really nice. Much better than just threads in the plastic.
Might be a bit spendy for the stainless ones though.
Anything from 50-70%. But you should also make sure you up the wall thickness. Default profiles are often only 2 or 3 passes, around 1mm thickness.
For seriously structural parts I would bump that up to 3mm. Increase top and bottom layer counts to match.
Unless the part is quite large, infill...
Sleeve on the strap. Which probably reduces wear on a wetsuit, but does nothing to increase comfort if you are not wearing a wetsuit.
Not tried it with a wetsuit yet. After a week diving in Bonaire, Monterey seems much less attractive.
I just did my first trip to Bonaire, also my first dives with a BP+W.
I'm also quite warm blooded and went with just a rash guard and shorts for the whole trip.
A 2 inch crotch strap, with thin neoprene was... Uncomfortable. But only on the surface with my wing inflated. At depth and in trim I...
NylonX is probably better than ABS, although you need a steel nozzle for that. PET is almost always better than ABS for anything other than salt water. Unless you need to chemically weld or polish it. Or even just unfilled nylon, it's going to stand up best to salt water and UV.
And while...
Why haven't they gone bankrupt? Because you don't need to be good to stay in business, you just have to be marginally better than the other guy.
And the big secret of shipping, is they all suuuuuuuuck.
Well, some small local couriers are good. But the big guys are all terrible.
You probably won't be able to board the flight. If the destination requires the test, they normally require the airlines to get proof before accepting the passenger. And even if they don't the airline will normally require it, as they would have to fly you home if you are not allowed in.
I've literally walked through AUP's machine shop in CA, where Hollis/Oceanic etc regs are produced.
And their DC's, depth gauges etc etc.
Oh, and PPS and AUP share a building.
Lots of wetsuits are made in CA too. And IIRC plenty of BC's and wings are made in the US.
Injection molding is still...
I figured, given the lack of a thermocouple board in the pictures!
(if you haven't already check out the 'cancel individual object within a print' functionality in the g-code viewer in the DWC, its awesome).
If you are extending the thermocouple (also, thermocouples are not the right thing to use, an RTD is easier to deal with, higher resolution, more accurate and will last longer) don't forget that you need special wire. If you just use ordinary copper wire you'll have the potential for inaccurate...
Just to throw more noise in.
Last time I was in Maui, it was October and I was perfectly comfortable in a farmer John...
But I grew up swimming in the North Sea, which ranges from cold, to very bl**dy cold.
Now I dive in Monterey in whatever suit they rent me and I'm toasty warm no matter...
They discontinued their own app.
You can still download Quik for desktop/windows. It's in the legacy software section.
I'm guessing not enough customers using it to justify the dev costs.
