Different types of 3d printing filaments to try
it out

All printers are in need of substance to print
with. Filaments form one of the major 3D printing
materials as you may fail to produce any object
without this material. Also known as 3D printer
ink, the 3d printer filament Melbourne comes in
basic plastic form. In some instances, it is
available in other materials too. These 3D
filaments are available in various types and
choice, depending on the object you are planning
to build. Each filament has its own purpose and
edge. You have to learn about all of it before
making the perfect move.

ABS 3D filament

• ABS is a popular form of filament and known for
  its toughness. It comprises of impact resistant
  properties. The flexibility and strength of this
  product makes it a perfect choice for 3D
  printing.
• It is also rather easier to extrude from nozzles
  of the printer, making it easier to work with.
  The printing temperature range over here is
  around 210 degree Celsius to 250 degree Celsius.

Areas of use
ABS is a great 3d printer filament Melbourne for
printing the moving parts, automotive, musical
instruments, electronic housing and kitchen
appliances. It is also for printing some toys
like LEGO. However, this isnt the best option
for the home users because of its higher melting
point, which has to be printed on bed or heated
surface. While working with this kind of printer
filament, proper ventilation is mandatory.

PET Filament

• Right now, PET or Polyethylene Terephthalate is a
  popular form of 3D filament material. This
  plastic is not just stable to use but proven to
  be harmless. It does not emit any kind of
  unpleasant fume or odours and known to be 100
  recyclable. The raw filament state has no colour
  to it and is clear. Once it gets exposed to heat
  or cold, the material then quickly changes the
  material to non-transparent state. There is
  another advanced type of PET filament used in the
  market, known as PETG. It is also marketed as
  Amphora AM1800.

Application areas

• This 3d printer filament Australia has been
  placed under FDA approved section and it is food
  safe. So, the common application of this filament
  is in food industry like containers and some
  kitchen utensils.

5
Nylon Filament

• Often termed as polyamide, Nylon filament is a
  synthetic version, stronger and way more durable
  than most of the options mentioned before. It is
  cost effective, light in weight, flexible and
  wear-resistant. Moreover, it is less brittle than
  other 3D printer filaments. Nylon filament is
  available in multiple kinds, and you can choose
  the one matching your needs and budget. The
  difference lies in the tensile strength, bonding
  practices and in their water absorption. You can
  easily choose nylon filament, which has opaque
  finish to it and can reduce shrinkage.

Applications to consider

• This 3d printer filament Australia is used in
  multiple areas because of its flexible properties
  and strength. It is mostly suitable for multiple
  consumer items like mechanical components, tools,
  structural and machine parts, containers and
  there are more.
• So, the next time you are eyeing for 3D printer
  filaments, be sure to get these options into
  considerations. Each product has its share of
  pros and cons. So, be very specific while
  selecting a filament for your use. Remember to
  check high and low before making a decision.
