3D Printing FibreTuff with Ultimaker 3 and S5
Recommended processing conditions.
FibreTuff needs to be desiccant dried before printing. The nozzle size should be .4 or .5mm with temps at 235 - 240C. The printer bed should be heated at 80 -100C. Cooling Fan on for first few layers than turned off Recommended layer height .1 - .2mm
Printer oven is desired - temps 80C.
Printing speeds 45 -50 mm/sec
Density or infill is at 90 - 93% infill
Recommend Adhesive or breakaway - PVA
Please note: A new spool of FibreTuff Medical Grade filament is packaged in a sealed vacuum package with desiccant and shouldn't require drying. If you leave spool exposed to elements over a period of time estimated at 3-4 days, moisture pickup is possible and may effect adhesion for layering. It is recommended to desiccant dry spool for 10 hrs before printing.
