Your Gigabot can print many types of plastic filament. Most any 2.85mm diameter thermoplastic 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.
- PET and PET-G - More flexible than PLA and slightly higher heat resistance
- ABS - More resistant to harsh environments but shrinkage than PLA.
- Taulman T-Glasse - FDA approved for direct food contact.
- Taulman 910 - High strength alloy.
- Taulman N-vent -
- Ninjatek Cheetah - Prints faster than Semiflex.
- Ninja SemiFlex - Slightly more flexible than Cheetah.
- EcoFlex PLA - Flexible PLA.
- PLA/PHA - More flexible than PLA. High toughness.
- Nylon Ultra -
- PPO -
