PLA is not the boring choice

I know some of you are already eyeing the fancy filaments online. Don't. PLA does almost everything you need for a beginner project and it's a lot more forgiving. Get 100 good prints in before you even think about PETG. That's not a suggestion, that's just how I'd spend your money if it were mine.

Kelton, glad it's taking up residence. Print 100 wasn't magic, I just stopped fighting the printer around then and started fighting the design instead. That's the actual milestone. PETG can wait.
