Thank's rwtdiver. I will try with PLA.

Well I'll ask, what if PLA isn't going to work for our needs? Would ABS be the way to go then? What does a basic but proper setup run?
I'm in the planning stages for a build that will likely be at a high risk for warping in specific sections, and due to it's color it'll get hot quickly.
I don't mind basically building it as a 3D puzzle as that's what my budget will likely allow.Comment

I agree ABS is much better the using PLA. Yes it is hard and slower to print. As you need to print ABS or ASA, another version of ABS way way slower then pla.
Dam that sub is huge Steve! Look at the size of the sub cradle for it wow.
Nice printComment

My reasoning for going with total PLA (14 submarines) is because of the environment that I have to work in! I do not have a shop like 95% of the guys on this forum. I have a total of 200 square feet which happens to be an extra room inside our home.
My other and main concern is because of the toxins and smells that the other types of filaments that are out there. I totally get it; PLA is not the best for this hobby. But I have made it work for me.
If you have the space for a shop were harmful vapors, smells and various other type materials are required, I would certainly bypass the use of PLA and go with ABC or ASA!
