Do you have some recommendations for printing the printable parts of this printer (Filament type, infill, etc.)? Thanks

I print most of my parts at 0.24mm layer heights with a 20% hexagonal infill, then some smaller parts which may be under more tension I print at 40-50% infill. There's no right answer, but I would definitely recommend honeycomb infill as it is much stronger.
I use Hatchbox PLA plastic and it works very well. ABS would probably give you stronger parts but I don't know if the shrinkage would play a factor too much.

I might try Hatchbox white ABS, I had good luck with it when printing extruder parts for my existing printer. Thanks

Good luck jjlink.. I'm printing mine using "LD 1.75mm (1kg) PETG Natural Filament for 3D Printers". I feel this is stronger compared to ABS prints and less wrapping with my current printer.  |

Good idea, I have some PET+ and some PETT t-glase. I'm guessing only some of the parts would really benefit from the increased strength and higher temperature resistance.
