Filament 3D Printers

Melt and extrude plastic filaments to build quick and inexpensive prototypes, custom and complex parts, and manufacturing aids such as jigs and fixtures. These 3D printers are also known as fused filament fabrication (FFF) and fused deposition modeling (FDM) printers. They meet U.S. and international standards for safety.

LulzBot


Mini 3	TAZ Workhorse+


LulzBot Mini 3 Display	LulzBot TAZ Workhorse+ Display

LulzBot printers are compatible with many different materials, so they’re useful across a wide range of applications. They have a minimum layer height that is twice as thin as MakerBot printers, meaning they print a finer level of detail. LulzBot printers come with open source software, so you can manually adjust temperature and print settings. All have heated printer beds to prevent parts from warping during cooling.

Mini 3—Mini 3 printers are the smallest in our offering but also the fastest; use them to quickly print small pieces.

TAZ Workhorse+—The TAZ Workhorse+ printer beds are reversible—prints adhere well to the PEI glass side, while the borosilicate glass side is especially flat for perfectly level prints. They have the best combination of size and speed in our offering.

Magnetic—Mini 3 printers have a magnetic bed which makes it easy to remove delicate prints without breaking them.

Structural Support 3D Printer Filaments


Print structural support along with your part to prevent the part from losing its shape

Amber

White

When 3D printing a model with overhangs or hollow spaces, use these filaments to prevent the model from losing its shape. They support the structure during the printing and cooling process, then dissolve or snap away once the part is hardened. Use them in dual-extrusion fused filament fabrication (FFF) printers alongside your primary filament. Unlike parts with supports printed from a single filament, there’s no cutting, sanding, or polishing required.

Choose a filament that has similar printing requirements as your primary filament. You will want to choose a support filament that prints at a similar temperature as your primary filament and has the same requirements for a heated build chamber, so they cool at the same rate and won’t warp.

You should also consider how you will remove the structural support filament from your finished part.

Aquasys 120— Aquasys 120 filaments are compatible with the widest variety of filament materials, but they require a heated build chamber.

HIPS—HIPS filaments are commonly used to support ABS and ASA parts and don’t need a heated build chamber.

Water Soluble—Soluble filaments are well suited to print parts with complex or fragile designs as they gently dissolve off your primary part, leaving a smooth finish. Water-soluble filaments dissolve in a heated bath.

Limonene Solvent Soluble—Soluble filaments are well suited to print parts with complex or fragile designs as they gently dissolve off your primary part, leaving a smooth finish. Limonene-solvent-soluble filaments do not require heating, but the solvent will need to be properly disposed of after use.

Impact-Resistant ABS 3D Printer Filaments


Black	Blue	Gray

Green	Orange	Red

White	Yellow	Beige

Bumps, scrapes, and falls won’t damage these tough ABS filaments. Known for their durability, they absorb impact without cracking or breaking, and won’t degrade when heated. Use them to print tool handles, storage cases, and other parts that are handled or dropped frequently. These filaments are a good place to start if you’re experimenting with printing impact-resistant parts.

Use with a fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printer. These filaments have a high melting point and must be printed onto a heated bed. Without it, parts will cool too quickly and warp. These filaments also release fumes as they are printed, so use an enclosed printer or a fume exhauster to ventilate them.

Maximum exposure temperature is the point at which a printed part will begin to deform. Above this temperature, your printed parts will start to lose structural integrity.

Carbon Fiber Filled—Carbon-fiber-filled ABS filaments make rigid parts that are difficult to bend and break. Their parts can also be threaded and machined more easily than ABS filaments without a filler. Carbon-fiber-filled filaments are abrasive, so you should use them with an abrasion-resistant nozzle. They will wear out other nozzles.

Fiberglass Filled—Fiberglass-filled ABS filaments make parts that are stronger and less likely to warp or shrink than ABS filaments without a filler. Fiberglass-filled filaments are abrasive, so you should use them with an abrasion-resistant nozzle. They will wear out other nozzles.

ABS/Polycarbonate—For heavy impact, use ABS/polycarbonate filaments. The polycarbonate adds strength to printed parts.

UL 94 V-0—Filaments rated UL 94 V-0 meet strict flammability standards. Use them to create holders, guards, housings, and other parts that protect sensitive, flammable equipment and machinery.

Static Dissipative—Static-dissipative filaments make parts that protect equipment from electrostatic shocks by diverting electrostatic discharges in a controlled way. Use them to create tool handles, tote trays, enclosures, and other parts that are used near sensitive electronics. To adjust the surface resistivity of your printed part, change the temperature of your printer’s extruder. As the extruder’s temperature increases, the printed part’s resistivity will decrease.

Tensile Strength—Tensile strength is the best measure of a filament's overall strength. Similar to the stress applied on a rope during a game of tug-of-war, it's the amount of pulling force a material can handle before breaking. A higher rating means a stronger filament. A tensile strength of 5,000 psi and above is considered good; 12,000 psi and above is excellent.

Dremel 3D Printer Filaments

Build parts and prototypes from these filaments using Dremel fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers. An RFID tag on the spool communicates with your printer, automatically adjusting it to the correct temperature and print speed for the filament material and notifying you when the filament is running out.

Maximum exposure temperature is the point at which a printed part will begin to deform. Above this temperature, your printed parts will start to lose structural integrity.

Eco-ABS


Black	White

ECO-ABS is less brittle and more impact resistant than PLA, so these filaments are good for printing parts that are frequently handled, dropped, or heated. They are, however, a little more high maintenance—parts may warp during cooling, so they require a heated printer bed.

Plastic Pellets

Use them with injection molders, 3D printers, and other molding equipment.

Impact Resistant—Absorbing impact without cracking or breaking, these plastic pellets are molded into parts that endure bumps, scrapes, and falls.

ABS—ABS pellets are easy to thermoform, have good impact resistance at low temperatures, and have more chemical resistance than those made of HIPS or polycarbonate. They’re also more impact resistant than HIPS pellets. Use them to make storage cases, tote trays, equipment housings, and protective gear.

Colorants for Plastic Pellets


Black	Blue	Dark Gray

Gray	Light Blue	White

Yellow	Green	Dark Red

Orange

Add color when making plastic parts. Also called masterbatches, these colorants contain a base plastic that works with a variety of plastic types—from general purpose polypropylene to tough ABS. This means you don’t need to stock up on colorants for each type. Mix them in with your pellets before melting. To get a rich color for most plastic, you need only 1-2% of colorant in your batch, since they’re concentrated.
