How to Choose Between Filaments
When comparing filaments, consider these key factors:
- Tier Rating: Our tier system (S to F) rates filaments based on ease of printing and general usefulness.
- Print Requirements: Check if you need an enclosure, special bed adhesion, or a hardened nozzle.
- Temperature Range: Ensure your printer can reach the required nozzle and bed temperatures.
- Storage Needs: Some filaments are more moisture-sensitive and require careful storage.
- Application: Match the filament properties to your project needs (strength, flexibility, heat resistance, etc.).
