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 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 special properties when making your choice.
Which 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 widely 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 able to withstand higher temperatures, but it requires good ventilation because of the odor released during printing.
What effect does filament color have on 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 may make minor imperfections and layer lines more visible, while dark colors may conceal them. It is mainly a matter of personal preference and the desired appearance 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 cool, dry place, preferably in airtight packaging or a sealable container with a moisture-absorbing agent, such as silica gel. Exposure to moisture can adversely affect print results, so protecting it from moisture is essential.
