Need Help - Could someone with an infrared temperature gauge please take the temp of oil dipstick at the top of the dipstick tube (red arrow) taken out of a fully warmed up engine
[REPOSTING - FORGOT PHOTOS FIRST TIME ]
It's like putting lipstick on a pig, but I keep making 3-d printed accessories for my rough 1974 daily driver.
In this case, my oil dipstick needs painting. Instead of doing that, I designed a multi -colored, snap-on cover, with BMW lettering on it.
The question is whether PETG filament, with a glass transition level of around 200 centigrade (392 degrees fahrenheit) will stand up to the oil temperature.
Unfortunately, my gal is not up and running right now. If someone can get a couple of consistent readings (and they don't live in Florida or Alaska), for their trouble I'll send them a finished cover in the colors they may choose - assuming the temps work out.
Post your readings and then DM me address to send a cover. Thx.
