3d printing thread

If several people here in the forum like Spooky and I use a 3D printer, a thread or category would be interesting.
Printer settings (fan speed, pad and needle temperature) Pad glue or primer which brand e.g
Print templates, with support structure and if any .. triangle .etc
So I use a glass heated printing bed and haven't needed any kind of pad, glue, or primer. I have to be careful about my printing settings though because taller objects can sometimes lift off the printing bed.

I do however use hot glue to attach pieces together. As it turns out Hot glue is great for PLA and my hot glue gun gets hot enough I could actually extrude PLA to fuse parts together through it if I wanted to. (360* F)
Ok 360 Grad Fahrenheit = ca 180 Grad Celdius, 

I print with needle temperature 207 degrees C and 42 C pad temp, Druckersoftware under Windows I use Cura Ultimaker!

FreeCAD 0.20.2 and
I also use Blender 3.4.1, it's also available for Linux
@tc4me I really need to start learning to design my own models. It's going to be a big game changer.
3D scanner would be awesome

No kidding, I could mass duplicate stuff and scan parts in to make replacements after cleaning up the scan.
which scanner do you recommend?
