Printing specs:
Temperature:
215 – 250°C
Guide:
- Heated print bed recommended. Set your print bed temperature to approximately 90°C – 100°C.
- 3DPS Glow in the dark ABS use 240°C
- Sticks well to Kapton tape, PET tape.
- Sticks well to extra strong hair spray on a glass bed
- Sticks well with “ABS Juice” (You can make this yourself with scrap ABS filament dissolved in acetone).
Printing specs:
Temperature:
190 – 220°C
Guide:
- 3DPS PLA can be printed both with and without a heated print bed. If your 3D Printer does have a heated print bed it is recommended to set your print bed temperature to approximately 50°C – 60°C and slightly higher if you have a glass heated bed.
- First layer usually 5°C-10°C higher than subsequent layers.
- Sticks well to Heat resistant Blue tape.
- Sticks well to extra strong hair spray.
- You’ll achieve more transparent and shinier 3D prints at higher print temperatures
- It is highly recommended that you use a extruder cooling fan for the entire duration of the 3D print.
Printing specs:
Temperature:
240 – 280°C
Guide:
- It isn’t recommended to 3D print directly onto glass.
- Nylon sticks best to PET tape. However others have had a lot of success with alternative surfaces
- Cardboard which is great preventing warping.
- Great results achieved with Garolite.
- Other alternatives include poplar wood or PVA/UHU Glue.
- Set your print bed temperature to approximately 120°C. (This may vary depending on your print surface)
- If foam comes out of the nozzle or the material pops when extruded, the material has to be dried at ~ 148°C for 3-4 hours. This is a common procedure for all nylons filaments on the market.
- Don’t set the infill to a high percentage as it will result in a failed print
- 3DPS Nylon PA is recommended for people who are willing to take the time to tweak their machines and extruder temps/speeds.
- Once 3D Printed 3DPS Nylon is extremely strong and flexible. The tweaking will pay off!

Printing specs:
Temperature:
215 – 250°C
Guide:
- HIPS is recommended as a support structure material, as well as an alternative to 3DPS ABS filaments
- Sticks well to Kapton tape, PET tape.
- Sticks well to extra strong hair spray on a glass bed.
- Sticks well with “ABS Juice” (You can make this yourself with scrap ABS filament dissolved in acetone).
- HIPS remain pliable until it’s cool. Do not remove your print until fully cooled or it will bend.
- Will dissolve in approximately 8 to 24 hours when fully submerged in a Limonene bath.
Printing specs:
Temperature:
250 – 320°C
Guide:
- 3DPS PC will need to be 3D Printed with an all metal hot end or a alternative extruder that can reach temperatures around 300°C – usually not standard on many 3D Printers. Those with Bowden style extruders will need to watch for signs of excessive force where the Bowden tube meets the filament driver and hotend.
- Set your print bed temperature to approximately 120°C – 130°C.
- Printing at higher flow-rates will require higher extruder temperatures for a consistent melt.
- You may need to decrease your print speed – even down to 30mm/sec.
- Sticks well to “ABS Juice” (brushed down before hand)
- Sticks well to Kapton tape, PET tape.
- Some users experience success with:
- Garolite heated bed.
- Superglue on cool glass and then heating the bed to 125C – 130C.
- If left out for in the open air for a few days (or less in a humid environment), will need to be dried before printing. 120°C for 4 hours.
Printing specs:
Temperature:
240 – 260°C
Guide:
- To get the optimal temperature; start from 230°C and continue to raise the temperature until the printers starts browning the print regularly, from that point, drop the temperature by a couple of degrees and your set. Make a note for follow-on prints.
- Set your print bed temperature to approximately 100°C. If not using a heated bed, try raising your hot-end temperature by a few degrees.
- Keep your retraction speed slow at 40mm/s or less.
- Use a fan with PETG as it tends to cool the filament in the hot end and help with retractions.
- Rafts are optional. (if the print bed is not heated, consider using brim instead, 5 or more mm wide.)

Guide:
- 3DPS POM sticks best to alternative surfaces
- Cardboard which is great preventing warping.
- Good results achieved with Garolite.
