DESCRIPTION

• Suitable for creating 3D objects such as spare parts, tools, templates, accessories, prototypes, moulds, figures...
• 99% biodegradable. Biologically sourced material, environmentally friendly. Produced from fibres and starches harvested in the fields of the Valencian Community in Spain
• Safe for food contact and the production of packaging and toys. Except for the black filament
• Easy to print material with high performance, excellent layer adhesion, and mechanical strength with low shrinkage
• Excellent adhesion prevents the visibility of layer overlaps
• Resistance to elasticity, impact, and shocks
• Intense, bright colours with a silky finish
• Free from toxic elements, strong odours, or smoke
• Packaged inside a cardboard box, shrink-wrapped with hygroscopic insulation to prevent moisture absorption

TIPS AND TRICKS

• Before each project, clean and disinfect the heated bed from filament residues, grease, dust, or hairsprays. In the Related Products, you will find the antibacterial spray cleaner specially designed for printers and 3D parts (Ref. 040102)
• Use 3D printing adhesive or hairspray to secure the first layers of filament on the heated bed and avoid the warping effect. Find it in the Related Products (Ref.040500)

TECHNICAL DATA

USAGE RECOMMENDATION

• Use a cooling fan during printing. It is important to turn it on after the first layers to avoid affecting adhesion

STORAGE AND PRESERVATION

• Filaments tend to absorb moisture from the environment, leading to printing or finishing issues
• Moisture degrades the filament causing extruder clogs and variations in its physical and mechanical properties
• To keep the filament in good condition, proper storage and drying processes are important
• The filament should be stored in airtight and preferably vacuum-sealed containers. Zip bags with silica gel beads, vacuum-sealed bags, or vacuum-sealed food containers can be used
• Some techniques to remove moisture include:
  • Conventional methods such as drying in a domestic oven or a food dehydrator. At low temperatures and for long periods
  • Professional methods such as filament dryers
• If stored correctly and the packaging remains sealed, the product can be used within 24 months after supply
