Filament – useful info

If you find a roll of filament that is bad please add a label to it so we know it either needs drying, re-spooling or may not to be usable for printing anymore.

Cardboard spools:

  • Some eSun filament comes on cardboard spools, the edges are sealed so they can go in the AMS but the spools are often a little wonky and can end up jamming. There are 3d printed covers for the edges in TAP lab, try adding them if you are having this problem.
  • If it won’t work in the AMS you can load it into the external feeder instead.
Printed spool edges

PETG and TPU

  • These both need to be VERY dry before use. Plan ahead and dry them for 24 hrs before you print.
