Just been experimenting with 3D printing end caps for a WTC that I am building and need some advice.The print came out great.The fit was the correct size and the “o” ring sealed well.However when I pressure tested them the “o” ring did not leak but the cap itself was porous and water was coming through the cap itself.The filament I am using is PLA+ with 100% infill at 230 deg.
Would there be a more suitable filament material that I can use that is not porous or different printer settings?
