Please note that [https://www.simplify3d.com/support/materials-guide/properties-table/ there is a nice chart on the '''Simplify3D''' site] that compares materials.
*Note: In Slic3r, you should slice with a fan value between 0 and 39, which will result in a fan speed between 0 and 99, since we have our fans run between 0 and 100, not between 0 and 255 like other printers. Also note that we leave the fan OFF for the first five layers.

A huge variety of materials can be printed with various extruders on the Hyrel machines.

Can we print your material?

Probably... please tell us:

  1. What form it is in at room temperature (powder, granules, filament, gel, etc).
  2. Do you need the environment or build surface at a certain temperature?
  3. For Filaments:
    1. At what temperature will it be printed?
    2. Is it 1.75mm +/- 0.1mm?
  4. For liquids, gels, granules or powders:
    1. At what temperature will it be deposited?
    2. Is it homogeneous or pre-mixed, or do we need to mix it as we dispense?
      1. If mixed as dispensed, at static or dynamic ratios?
    3. How does it harden or cure (by cooling, by heating, with humidity, with UV light (specify wavelength))?
    4. Is it photosensitive? Energetic? Caustic? Any special handling, safety or ventilation requirements?
    5. What viscosity is it during deposition?

Below are the recipes we have so far...

The Importance of Dry Filament

All filaments will benefit somewhat from being kept dry when not in use and/or being pre-heated/dried just prior to use. At Hyrel, we NEVER print PEEK without running it through our preheater/dryer first.

In general, the higher the print temperature (PEEK, PPSU), the more catastrophic moisture in the filament is. And we're talking levels of humidity that standard home devices don't even detect.

Materials Printable on Hyrel Machines

Our FH2-260 extruder works great with all 1.75mm filaments at up to 260C.

Our FH2-450 extruder work great with all 1.75mm filaments between 270C and 450C.

For extruder recommendations for liquids, gels, pastes, and clays, please see our Reservoir_Heads comparison.

Please note that there is a nice chart on the Simplify3D site that compares materials.
