Printing Tips

Drying Recommendations:

  • Drying Temperature: In a blast drying oven: 100°C to 140°C for 8 to 12 hours.
    On an X1 printer's heatbed: 110°C to 120°C for 10 to 12 hours (less effective than a blast drying oven).
  • Important Note: Higher temperatures within the drying range yield better results, but do not exceed 160°C to avoid damaging the spool.
  • Additional Information: For more details, refer to Printing tips for Engineering materials on WIKI.

Storage Tips:

Annealing Prints:

Interface Layer:

  • To prevent the filament from damaging the printing surface and to promote model adhesion, apply a thin coat of glue stick for best results
