In this Chapter, we are going to look at the most popular filaments in more detail, namely their properties, the level of printing difficulty and popular uses.

Transcript

Okay guys, so we've taken a look at our first print, we've successfully got our octopus off the bed and we've taken a look at some of the artifacts and the general finish quality of that print. I thought it would be good to start off by looking at some of our filament types.

So what we're going to do is look at each filament type in a little bit more detail. We'll examine each filament type according to the following properties. We'll consider the print difficulty, categorized as easy, medium, or hard. We'll also delve into the print temperature required, the bed temperature, and the solubility of the filament. Furthermore, we'll conclude with an assessment of the material strength, indicating how easy it is to break the material.

We will also explore the warping tendencies of the filament, if any, and investigate whether the filament is biodegradable or emits any fumes that necessitate ventilation systems for safe printing. Let's begin by examining our favourite filament, ABS filament. Let's dive into the specifics of ABS filament now.
