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 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

Off-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.

Aquasys GP—Aquasys GP filaments are good at supporting heat-sensitive materials, such as PLA and PET, because they print well at lower temperatures 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.

Moisture-Resistant Polyester 3D Printer Filaments


	Black

Parts printed with these polyester filaments absorb less moisture than other types of plastic, making them ideal for use in wet or humid environments. They are more durable and flexible than PLA, and easier to print than ABS. Use these filaments with fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers, and print onto a heated print bed. Printing onto a cool surface causes the molten filament to change temperature rapidly, which can warp your designs. Although finished parts are moisture-resistant, these filaments are sensitive to humidity, and should be stored in a dehumidifying cabinet or a sealed container with desiccant for the best printing quality.

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 PETG is often used to make rigid parts that are difficult to bend and break. Finished parts are easier to thread and machine than unfilled parts. Because these filaments are abrasive, use them only with abrasion-resistant nozzles.

PETG—PETG contains glycol, so it is less brittle and easier to print than PETT and PCTG.

Static Dissipative—Static-dissipative filaments make parts that protect equipment from electrostatic shocks by diverting electrostatic discharges in a controlled way. 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.

Antistatic—Antistatic filaments make parts that prevent the buildup of static electricity. This helps prevent the buildup of dust or fibers on the surface of your finished part. However, they are not as effective at preventing electrostatic discharge as static-dissipative filaments.

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.

PETG

Clear

PETG is more moisture resistant than ECO-ABS, making it a great choice for printing parts for use in humid or wet environments. Generally, PETG’s other properties fall somewhere between those of PLA and ECO-ABS. It’s more flexible and durable than PLA, but less so than ECO-ABS. It’s harder to print than PLA because it requires a heated printer bed, but easier to print than ECO-ABS. PETG filaments should be kept in a sealed container with a desiccant.
