Printing guidelines
The values below are a safe starting point to obtain good results, but may not be optimal for your printer. for example a delta printer can achieve much higher speeds than a direct drive would. Anyways, contact us if you cannot get it working.
Printer settings
Printing speed | 30-60mm/s |
Bed temperature | 55 °C |
Nozzle temperature | 210 °C |
Use them as a starting point, optimal values for your specific printer may vary from the values shown above, depending on e.g. nozzle diameter, exact printing speed and layer height to name a few.
Bed adhesion
Many strategies are possible to get Octofiber PLA properly to your print-bed: clean glass, blue painters tape, glue stick, hairspray, special 3D printing stickers. Whichever option you choose, a heated bed is not necessary, but will further simplify good adhesion.
