Consumables
Only filament provided by the maintainers can be used in the Ultimakers. This is to prevent any issues with poor quality filament. If we're running low on filament (or tape), ro recommended alternative providers, let them know (via the mailing list).
Filament options (3.0mm)
- ABS (lego brick plastic - prints at 190-230 DegC, requires heated bed at 100-110 DegC)
- PLA (biodegradable , based on food starch - prints at 185-190 DegC, optional heated bed, not hotter than 60 DegC)
- There are other 'specialist' filament, like wood effect, stone effect, nylon (can be coloured by clothes dye), etc
