Harvey, try to "temper" the PLA. Use a reflow oven. If you want, you can send me some samples to HU and I will use my "Wassulmayer" oven. - - - - - With best regards Tam HANNA Enjoy electronics? Join

I don't know. I'm fairly sure the OEM part was plastic. The parts don't seem to be under much stress, and the stress is distributed along the length. I've never done 3D printing, but a few components

oh, was it heating up? had you measured the bias voltage and DC current draw in that MMIC? that usually (not always as I learned recently in repairing a R&S SME) gives you enough clue about the state
