X1 Carbon with 0.2mm nozzle.
Generic white polycarbonate
No cooling fan, 1mm³/s, 0.08mm layers
Print time approx 2 minutes (not including bed levelling and pre-heating).
This is the smallest functional part I’ve printed so far and I was very impressed by how well it came out. My settings weren’t quite perfect and I printed it a touch fast (especially as I’d done no PA calibration and auto-cal is still pretty broken for 0.2mm) but the part came out solid, and it worked perfectly first time.
(No comments on the cleanliness of the keyboad please - it’s not mine 
)
I’m looking forward to experimenting more with small functional parts.

Clockspring3D’s PipTop. This amusing print is print–in-place - the central shaft unscrews to form the handle and the point. I used the “change filament at layer” feature to get the different colors (there’s a fourth color in there but it’s hidden from view.

Just for fun and some extremely well thought out stl’s I purchased and downloaded a bunch of files from Fab365
When you sign up and then every time you purchase a file you getva free download
This Tie Interceptor is one of those free files and is satisfyingly easy to print
Just follow the instructions for wall line count, top shell layers and bottom shell layers and outline (wall line count worded differently 
)
At .2mm and 15% grid infill other than the changes mentioned above everything else stays as per your normal settings
I used Bambu Basic jade white and Eryone PLA+ black
Here’s the link but if you sign up only 1 free download is on the house, after that every time you buy a file you get a free download out of the awesome free files available
I’m a giant articulated scorpion as I type this, it takes up the whole buildplate and takes about 2.5 hours
The Interceptor took about the same 2.5 hours to print everything

Got a spool of Braskem polypropylene (PP) filament, which I had never tried before. Found this little box which was designed as a PP test - worked well for that.
They’re not kidding that this stuff doesn’t like to stick to anything else. Wham Bam PEX - no adhesion (Wham Bam says it works). Dimafix adhesive, which (sometimes) claims it works with PP - nope. What worked, as suggested in various YouTube videos, is Scotch brand clear packing tape, which is also polypropylene. Sticks VERY well to that - so much so that it was a bit hard to get off, but I managed.
For some reason, the hinge didn’t come out as robust as I think it should - this is a short bridge between the two halves. It does work, though. I used a brim on this print, a bit of it is still visible.
I adapted the Generic PA preset, set Max Volumetric to 10, nozzle temp to 240 (range 220-260). Bed was 90 for this print.

Thanks for the link!
When you get a surface solution that sticks too much the answer is to use glue stick on the working surface you found. I know it’s counter intuitive and you would think it adds adhesion, but it puts a layer on the surface to help release it. They do that on PEI and PETG. They “like” each other too much.
Also - Always be sure to let the print cool before release. We’re all impatient to get the nice part we finally got off the plate but on tough to release items letting it cool is the answer.
Really hard ones, don’t force it - freeze it! It usually pops right off then. 
Cheers!

Good generic advice, but not for this case. PP doesn’t like to stick to anything but itself, and glue stick would be as bad as not using anything.

Yeah, I understand PP is a bit of a b*tch to play with. I’ve done a lot of “difficult” high temp plastics but haven’t had the joy (/s) of making PP’s acquaintance!
Usually, on high temp prints a very thin layer of glue will help, but you know better from direct experience, so I’ll file it away in my pointed little head for future reference. 
We all help each other’s knowledge on here, thanks for the info!!
Cheers!

neat, do you have a photo of the Wasserverteiler in action? Curious about its intended application
Nice result except for the hinge! I see Braskem promotes the Magigoo brand adhesive in their Amazon storefront, I wonder if it works any better
Use Magigoo PP on the engineering plate. Works very good in my case when printing with PP.
