9.4 HIPS
Universal, stable
material
with good heat resistance suited for printable
mechanical
components.
● Nozzle temperature:
220 °C
● Bed temperature:
100 °C. You can set the bed temperature between 80 to 110 °C
depending the
size
of an object (larger object means higher temperature)
● Heatbed:
Put one layer of the glue on the glass. Apply an ABS
Juice
before every
. The glue is applied only before the first
or in case you cleaned the glass
completely.
9.5 PP
Polypropylene is a flexible and resistant

of the precise objects
requiring the flexibility, firmness and persistence.
● Nozzle temperature:
254 °C
● Bed temperature:
100 °C.
● Heatbed:
The best results are obtained with common scotch tape just attach the
scotch tape directly to glass.

50 °C. You can set the bed temperature up to 65 °C depending
the
size
of an object. (larger object means higher temperature)
● Heatbed:
Put one layer of the glue on the glass before every
. The glue is
applied only before the first
