Use Cleaning Filament when changing to a filament with a different extrusion temperature.
Otherwise lower-temp filament will charcoal inside the hotend at higher temperatures which can obsctruct the hot-end and create back-pressure and can be almost impossible to clean out.
3D Printing Materials aka Filament in realraum
-
- Colors in r3: Black, Purple, Silver (,Blue if you ask DDD)
- Extrusion-temp: 230°C
- Spool Length 750g: ~95m
- Spool Length 2200g: 270m
- normal price, only slightly more expensive than ABS
- least warping so good for precise prints
- sticks really well to printbed
- recommended for big and precise prints
-
- Color: translucent white
- Extrusion-temp: 230°C - 240°C
- Spool Length: 62.7m
- normal price
- awesome material durability and strength
- needs glue and no printbed heat to stick. even so has tendency of warping on large ground surfaces and thus getting loose
- recommended if cheap, small or very durable prints are needed
-
- Colors in r3: clear, red
- Extrusion-temp: 230°C
- Spool Length: 56m
- double price
- translucent
- brittle
-
- Colors in r3: deep blue
- Extrusion-temp: 195-215°C
- Spool Length: ~125m
- normal price
-
- Color: steel gray
- Extrusion-temp: 195-220°C
- Spool Length: ~30m
- 5x normal price, since it's really expensive to buy
actually more than 10 times as expensive as HIPS per meter. - brittle on small features but durable like PLA and heavy on bigger pieces
- sticks really well on printbed. do not use glue or can forget about getting your print off the bed
-
- Color: translucent white
- Extrusion-temp: 150-300°C
- Spool Length: ~5m
- use only for cleaning and when changing filaments
-
- Colors in r3:
white - Extrusion-temp: 230°C
- Spool Length: ~140m
- normal price
- nice material strength
- warps on large surface area
- needs raft for less than 4cm² ground surface
