Filaments Possible to Print
- PLA (Polylactic Acid)
- PVB (Polyvinyl Butyral)
- BVOH (Butenediol Vinyl Alcohol Co-polymer)
- PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol)
- PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol-modified)
- CPE (Co-polyester)
- PCTG (Poly Cyclohexylene Dimethylene Terephthalate Glycol-modified)
- TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer)
- TPC (Thermoplastic Copolyester)
- TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
Filaments Possible but Not Recommended
These materials may be used but are not recommended due to their properties that can be challenging to print in an open chamber without precise temperature control.
Not Possible
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
- PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
- ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
- ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate)
- HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene)
- PC-ABS (Polycarbonate-Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
