You can use different types of filament within reason but consider the heat of the bed. | **Standard settings:** 1st colour, 2nd supports. These can be modified in the settings.

| + | Only two 3D printers should be used by a member at any one time. If it is especially busy consider using one to be considerate of others. | ||

| + | All Hackspace 3D printers use 1.75mm filament. Most filaments such as PLA, ABS, PETG, FLEX etc are supported. Do not use filaments that require a nozzle temperature above 285°C such as polycarbonate. | ||
| + | Abrasive filaments can be used on toolhead 1 as it has an ObXidian nozzle, but printing them on any other toolhead will wear down and break the brass nozzles. Examples of abrasive filaments are CF / GF filaments, wood and metal filaments, and glow in the dark filaments. Please also structure your multi-material prints to avoid printing with the brass nozzles on top of an abrasive filament. | ||

| * textured -- this is the strongest sheet and is a good choice for general printing in almost any filament. It has slightly lower bed adhesion than smooth when printing PLA, but only slightly. Remember -- you may also need glue stick when using sticky filaments. | * textured -- this is the strongest sheet and is a good choice for general printing in almost any filament.

| + | Toolhead 1 is equipped with a 0.4 mm ObXidian nozzle, allowing it to print with abrasive materials such as CF/GF filled filaments. **DO NOT PRINT THESE WITH OTHER NOZZLES, ONLY TOOLHEAD 1.** It will work with all other filaments on the approved list as well and should be all around more durable than the other nozzles. | ||
