Polyamide, PVA, and TPU (Flex) are filaments more commonly in need of drying than more popular filaments like PLA. Prusament black spool The black plastic sides of Prusament spools…
Plus, its high tenacity and flexibility often prevent it from breaking. Due to good temperature resistance, PETG parts are suitable both for interior and most exterior use (with…
Pros Cons ✔ Low price ✖ Brittle and inflexible ✔ Easy to print, suitable for beginners ✖ Low UV and temperature resistance ✔ Good detail and low warping ✖ Difficult post-processing…
For example, TPU is basically a subtype of TPE material and the main difference between TPU and TPE is its shore hardness. TPU is usually around 60A-90A on the shore hardness scale.…
Flexible steel sheets (guidepost)
The powder-coated steel sheets are better for printing objects with materials such as PETG, CPE, or Flexfill (TPU) which tend to adhere too much to a smooth surface, but can be…
✖ Higher price ✔ IPA chemical smoothing ✔ Great surface adhesion ✔ Good tenacity (similar to CPE) ✔ Good tensile strength (similar to PETG) ✔ Low warping (lower than PLA) ✔ Good…
It has moderate mechanical properties and good dimensional stability. Print and mechanical parameters resemble ABS, but HIPS is lighter and shrinks much less. It can be dissolved…
Water-soluble materials (PVA/BVOH)
PVA+ and BVOH are similar in many ways, but BVOH is absolutely the better (but more expensive) option. It is stiffer and will behave much better than PVA+ when printed. This is…
Viscocity, stiffness and other factors may greatly reduce effective throughput. Examples: Filament Max volumetric speed (approx.) PLA 15 ASA/ABS 11 PETG 8 BVOH/PVA (soluble supports)…
