Frequently asked questions
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 finished product. Some popular filament options include 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 any special properties when making your choice.
What filament diameter should I buy?
The filament diameter must match your 3D printer’s specifications. 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 with, less prone to warping, and produces less odor during printing. ABS is stronger, more impact-resistant, and better able to withstand higher temperatures, but it requires good ventilation because of the odor released during printing.
How does filament color affect the print result?
The filament color does not affect the printability or mechanical properties of the finished product, but it can influence its aesthetic appearance. Bright colors can make small imperfections and layers more visible, while dark colors may conceal them. It mainly comes down to personal preference and the desired look of the printed object.
How do I store 3D filament properly?
To preserve the quality of your filament, it’s important to store it properly. Keep the filament in a cool, dry place, preferably in airtight packaging or a sealable container with a moisture-absorbing agent such as silica gel. Exposure to moisture can negatively affect print results, so protecting it from moisture is essential.
