Bowden extruder used in some 3D printers has the advantage of having a small and lightweight head. But the long distance from the extruder to the nozzle makes it difficult to extrude TPU filament, which is soft and cannot be tensioned. Therefore, it is challenging to print T...
PostedSeptember 18, 2020· What is the best way to clean off extra TPU Filament from an Ultimaker s5 nozzle? Also is there a typical reason why so much TPU is sticking to the nozzle? Some materials are very sti...
Some of the most common filament materials for FDM include ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), PETG (polyethylene terephthalate), TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), PLA (polylactic acid), PEEK (poly-ether-ketone) and PC (polycarbonate). What is the strongest filament material for FDM? The stro...
I am late to the party here, but there is a reason for this. To change the colour of a filament they add a dye to it, which does not actually add to the strength of the filament. So a 'natural' coloured filament (transparent for PLA/TPU, creamy white for ABS etc) will be 100%...
This is also another common 3D printing material that uses plastic resin as the raw material. It has a low shrinkage property and is highly chemical resistant. It also offers a faster printing process compared to printing with a filament. ...
For low-cost prints, ABS filament is a tough, durable, and popular material with a few other attractive features. It stands up to impacts, provides a smooth finish, and has good heat resistance. ABS does tend to shrink as it cools, which makes it difficult to print with tight tolerances...

modelling (FDM) uses a spool of filament which is fed to an extrusion head with a heated nozzle. The extrusion head heats, softens and lays down the heated material at set locations, where it cools to create a layer of material, the build platform then moves down ready for the next ...
