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
  1. Hot-end temp of 200-220C
  2. Bed temp 60C with BuildTak or 70C with blue painter's tape
  3. Print speed of 3600mm/min
  • ABS -More resistant to harsh environments but tend to warp and twist more than PLA
  1. Hot-end temp of 220-230C
  2. Bed temp 85C with BuildTak or 100C with blue painter's tape
  3. Print speed of 3000mm/min
  • NinjaFlex -Flexible PLA
  1. Hot-end temp of 200-210C
  2. Bed temp 40C with BuildTak
  3. Print speed of 1500mm/min
  • EcoFlex PLA
  1. Hot-end temp of 210-220C
  2. Bed temp 40C with BuildTak
  3. Print speed of 1500mm/min
  • T-Glasse

  • Taulman nylons
  • ColorFabb filaments
