About this product

Will it print on my printer?

Filamet works on nearly all open-architecture FFF/FDM printers. Swap in a hardened steel nozzle (the size is in the specifications above) and print it like PLA. Not sure about your model? Email us the printer name and we'll check before you buy.

Do I need a Filawarmer?

Yes. This filament needs one to print well: it resets the spool memory of the filament as it feeds. The Filawarmer is included in the Print and Sinter kits; if you buy the spool on its own you will need to source one separately.

Can I sinter it?

Yes. After printing, the part can be fired in a kiln to become ceramic. Follow The Virtual Foundry's debinding and sintering guide for the profile.
