So, you’ve decided to dive into the world of 3D printing after being captivated by its endless possibilities. Before embarking on your printing journey, there’s one aspect you shouldn’t overlook – the choice of filament. Here are three essential considerations brought to you by Tesseract, a leading name in 3D printing services in India.

Local Filaments for the Win: In the past, importing 3D printing supplies from countries like China, Germany, and the USA was the norm. However, with the rise of the ‘Made in India’ movement, the landscape has shifted. Tesseract, among other local players, has revolutionized the market by offering quality 3D printer filaments at competitive prices. This not only ensures faster delivery but also supports the ‘Vocal for Local’ initiative.

Beware of Poorly-Wound Spools: A knotted filament is the enemy of your 3D Printer! It can destroy a smooth running print job in seconds.

A tangled filament spool can wreak havoc on your printing process. Ensuring that the spool rotates freely and the filament unwinds smoothly is crucial for a seamless printing experience. Tesseract emphasizes the importance of quality spools to prevent printing mishaps caused by tangled or adulterated filaments. Additionally, paying attention to the spool’s weight ensures you receive the right amount of filament without surprises. A 1kg filament should weigh about 1.2 or 1.3kgs along with the spool.

Combat Brittle Filaments: There’s nothing more frustrating than filament breaking mid-print. Brittle PLA filament, often a result of moisture absorption, leads to uneven extrusion and compromised print quality. Tesseract advises users to watch out for signs of moisture damage and suggests drying out the filament before use. Choosing the right material, such as Silk Metallic PLA or carbon fibre, can also enhance the finish and durability of your prints.

Additional Considerations: Beyond these critical factors, Tesseract recommends evaluating the material, durability, and compatibility of the filament. Different materials offer varying finishes and properties, while durability becomes crucial for long-lasting prints. Lastly, ensuring compatibility with your printer prevents compatibility issues down the line.
