500g and 1kg spool
Chamber temperature: up to 30 °C
Extruder temperature: 225-255 °C
Build plate temperature: 40-60 °C
Compatible with several engineering thermoplastics, including: PLA, PET, and PETG.
AquaSys® 120
A one-of-a-kind, water-soluble support filament that’s stable at higher temperatures and dissolves up to 6x faster than other support materials, like BVOH or PVA.
1.75mm and 2.85mm diameter
500g and 1kg spool
Chamber temperature: 80–120°C
Extruder temperature: 220–245°C
