3D Printing Models Suitable for Filaments

PLA and PETG: For these two base materials, the better the heat dissipation, the better the printing results. (Turn on the cooling fan and open the printer door.) Set the temperature to 401-419°F (approximately 205-215°C).

ASA, ABS, and PA: These materials should be printed in a sealed container.

PA6: Product issues with PA6 are most likely due to moisture. This highly absorbent material requires drying at 90-100°C for 8 hours. Print at a temperature of approximately 280°C, enclosed, and with a heated bed temperature above 100°C.
