I am interested in printing some replacement parts for my boat (things that have snapped/broken etc).

These parts are normally ridiculously expensive (marine industry tends to quintuple the price for basic things), so I was interested in printing these parts myself.

I have access to an a1 and p1s, however am considering upgrading to an x1c anyways so that would be an option if the filaments material properties would be stronger

Does anyone have experience with printing parts for use underwater/regularly exposed to water, and at the same time is quite strong (loads in the 100-1000s N range). PPA-CF was recommended, but is still quite expensive per kg.

Thanks!
