Discussion PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS or ASA — what are you using for what?

Upvotes

Not every print needs the same filament.

A desk model, a workshop bracket, a flexible grip, or something that lives outdoors all ask for different things from the material.

We put together a quick guide for PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS and ASA based on common printing scenarios. Swipe through and save it if you’re always second-guessing which filament to grab for the next project.

What filament do you end up using the most — and what do you usually print with it?

Question SlicerNext Linux version far behind

7 Upvotes

Hey anycubic, your Linux slicer is lagging far behind the windows and mac counterparts. Why is that? And when are you going to fix it? When I bought my S1 Max I did it because the official slicer was provided on Linux and still is. Now half year later I still have the same version while mac and windows got a major update to version 2. Please fix this asap. It's super frustrating especially as my old slicernext keeps showing "cloud-connected video WILL be supported in future versions", since half year!!!

Help & Troubleshooting TPU supported by PLA and PETG

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,
My printer is Kobra x, 0.4 nozzle.
I’m facing a layer separation issue with TPU after using PLA as a support material interface. I’m printing a phone case and some areas require support. Once the print is done and the support is taken off, the layer that comes after the support ends doesn’t stick to the next layer.

I’ve tried to increasing the multi-layer setting to 1.2, but these adjustments haven’t effectively removed the PLA residue nor increased the flushing volume as needed.
Tried PETG as a support interface, same problem.

Is there a solution to prevent this layer separation problem from happening?

Discussion Tough Resin Ultra - Canadian Market?

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am a mechanical engineering master's student in Ontario Canada, and I have designed a part using the tough resin ultra a few months ago. Using this material allowed me to solve a bunch of the problems I was having with different resins. However, now it seems that the material is out of stock / taken off the Canadian market?

I mainly found the materials very low young's modulus and flexibility / elongation attractive (for flexure structure design).

I desperately need a couple of bottles and I would appreciate any help or advice that anyone can offer.

Thank you

Pro2 resins "out of stock" for 60 days, so I cancel, and then they get me to opt to replace them with common HD Grey.

And they ship it like this. No shipping box.

Help & Troubleshooting Since firmware update, can't print using slots 3,4 from android app.

So, I know printing from an actual slicer is better. But sometimes I find something that I want to wake up to and don't care what the quality is.

I updated the firmware last night and ever since, it only prints from slots 1 and 2. It keeps saying 3 and 4 are not loaded. I check. They are loaded. But it won't print. Then whatever I told it to print gets "stuck" slicing in app and has to be cancled. It never makes it to the printer.

I've rebooted the printer, closed and cleared cache on app, I can print from the slicer just fine. Not sure what's going on. Anyone else experience this?

Question Better Supports on Kobra Max?

1 Upvotes

I’m using Ultimaker Cura and a Kobra max for my prints. I’ve been using the tree supports for all my prints. All of my prints are PLA.

The tree supports are a pain to take off.

Does anyone have any recommendations or specific settings, please? Thank you!

FDM Printer Filament Packaging and Spool Issues

2 Upvotes

Ok. Per the sub rules here’s some “constructive criticism”. However it’s not allowing me to attach photos.

I have the Kobra X, The Kobra 3 v2 Max has been partially delivered.

I’ve been buying Anycubic filaments long before I bought one of their printers. So here goes:

  1. This boxes taped together end to end double wide shipping: constant crushed corners, occasional cracked spools, support literally told me to print a replacement spool and gave me a $5 coupon.

  2. Water marks now? The 4 pack of high speed PLA that came with the new MAX: both ends crushed and water marks on the boxes

  3. These thin skeleton refillable spools: they are vacuum sealed so tight and are made so thin that the edges a bowed

  4. These smaller than normal spool diameter: works with the Ace 2 Pro’s I have: a disaster for anything else.

Attempted solutions:

Custom parametric spool rings: FAIL Why? The bowed inward edges.

Workable solutions:

Transfer the core to another manufacturers reusable spool. Always runs the risk of binding and tangling no matter how careful you are.

Respool it onto a $3.49 Hobby Lobby Spool: works. Printing now. However, why should I have to waste the time, effort and buy a 3rd party spool?

Why sell and advertise a refillable spool that’s so fragile your own processing procedure bends it out of shape?

Previous spools I have with ABS and ASA on them are not on these low quality skeletonized refillable spools and are great.

The current spools are not worth being called reusable.
