Where it shines
High-impact, high-heat structural prints — toughest non-nylon you'll print at home.
Common use cases: structural, outdoor, high-temp, engineering.
Where it falls short
Needs enclosed printer; absorbs water aggressively.
Print profile starting point
- Nozzle temp: start at 260°C and tune ±5°C for surface finish.
- Bed temp: 90°C is usually enough for adhesion; go up toward 105°C if first layer struggles.
- Drying: 80°C for 8 hours before printing if the spool has been opened more than a few days.
- Enclosure: required to prevent warping and layer cracking.
