Tips & Tricks

At Xplorer 3D we have a well equipped 3D printing studio with a cpuplr of different 3D printers. We know our materials will give you excellent results and to help you get these results here are tips and trick for using Xplorer 3D 3d printing filament.

Adviced 3d printing temperature:

200-220C*

Adviced 3d print speed:

30 – 80 mm/s

Advised Heated bed (if you have one, not strictly necessary):

95 – 110C

Build platform

Users using heated build platforms have quite a few options these days. The usual suspects are glass and aluminum build plates. For directly printing on glass or aluminum we advice user to apply glue-stick. A very thin layer will be sufficient to keep your print nicely in place. Another method is dissolving wood glue in water, you the consistency of the substance can be quite thin, a bit like milk. By applying just a few drops and smearing this out before you start heating the built plate will create a very thing layer which holds the PLA down very well. If applying this method, be careful that you don’t get your electronics wet.

Another method that works well with Xplorer 3D ABS is polyimide tape, or Kapton tape. This tape is available as a very narrow strip or very wide strips which allow you to cover the build plate in one go. When the tape is applied correctly it can last for months.

TIP! Take your time leveling the bed and adjusting the the gap between 3d printer nozzle and build plate. A perfect first layer will is very important, especially for 3d prints with a large bottom layer. Having the nozzle set to close to the build plate will cause a pressure build up and as a result back flow in most hot ends.

*3d printers have lots of different types of hot-end which makes it extremely difficult to give a temperature advice. We feel our temperature advice holds for most 3d printers, but should be considered as a starting point for you to find the temperatures that work in you setup. Don’t be afraid to go either higher or lower then our advised temperatures if you feel your set-up needs this.
