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 -Recommended for ease of printing and versatility of use
- Hot-end temp of 200-220C
- Bed temp 60C with BuildTak or 70C with blue painter's tape
- Print speed of 3600mm/min
- ABS -More resistant to harsh environments but tend to warp and twist more than PLA
- Hot-end temp of 220-230C
- Bed temp 85C with BuildTak or 100C with blue painter's tape
- Print speed of 3000mm/min
- NinjaFlex -Flexible PLA
- Hot-end temp of 200-210C
- Bed temp (no heated bed required)
- Print speed of 1500mm/min
