Your Gigabot can print many types of plastic filament. Any 3mm diameter plastic filament that can be extruded at less than 245C will print with your Gigabot. The re:3D engineering team has tested the following filaments on Gigabot:

  • PLA - most recommended for ease of printing and versatility of use
  • ABS - Ensure your Gigabot has a heated bed for best results. Note that ABS plastic has a high shrinkage factor.
  • NinjaFlex
  • EcoFlex PLA
  • T-Glasse
