FILX PLA WAYLESS GREY 1KG 1.75MM FILAMENT
When you use this filament, the print speed determine the amount of bubbles in the finished item that reduce the weight.
Typical application for FilX PLA Wayless Grey Filament would be hobbiest airplane, race car, wind turbine and boat parts.
The filament has been made with the PLA polymer, colour pigment and special foaming additive.
Tested: Ender 2 – 0.8mm Nozzle – 60˚C bed
Flow% Nozzle Temp Print speed (mm/s) Wall Thickness (mm) Foam Bubble Observation Sample Weight (g) Weight Difference
100 195 40 0.80 Almost none 3.2 0
80 215 40 0.81 Fine and evenly spread 2.6 0.6
76 230 40 0.79 Medium and evenly spread 2.4 0.8
74 240 40 0.81 Medium and evenly spread 2.2 1.0
Foaming density of this filament is a result of 2 variables:
- The time the polymer spend in the print head (print speed)
- The temperature of the print nozzle
The best practice for determining your maximum achievable foaming would be done by experimentation with the two variables.
For example slow 40mm/min print speed at 220˚C can give the same result as 50mm/min at 250˚C.
It is important to adjust the printer material flowrate down in the same percentage that wall thickness increases, as foaming
increases if you want weight loss of your model.
