Frequently asked questions
Got a question?
Which filament material should I choose for my 3D printer?
The material you choose depends on the intended use and the desired properties of the final product. Some popular filament options are PLA (biodegradable and easy to print), ABS (strong and impact-resistant), PETG (durable and flexible), and TPU (flexible and elastic). Consider the desired strength, flexibility, temperature resistance, and special properties when making your choice.
Which filament diameter should I buy?
The filament diameter must match the specifications of your 3D printer. The most common diameters are 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm. Check your printer's manual or the specifications on the manufacturer's website to find out which diameter is suitable.
What is the difference between PLA and ABS filament?
PLA (Polylactic Acid) and ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) are both commonly used filament materials, but they have different properties. PLA is biodegradable, easy to print, less prone to warping, and produces less odor during printing. ABS is stronger, more impact-resistant, and better suited for higher temperatures, but it requires good ventilation due to the odor released during printing.
What is the influence of filament color on the print result?
The filament color does not affect the printability or the mechanical properties of the final product, but it can influence the aesthetic appearance. Bright colors can make small imperfections and layers more visible, while dark colors may hide them. It is mainly a matter of personal preference and the desired look of the printed object.
How do I store 3D filament properly?
To maintain the quality of your filament, it is important to store it properly. Keep the filament in a dry and cool place, preferably in an airtight package or a sealable container with a moisture-absorbing agent, such as silica gel. Exposure to moisture can negatively affect print results, so protection against moisture is essential.
