Print plan
The material shows good results when printed at room temperature or on a cold bed. For some geometries or high density fill parts, a heated bed at 40 ° C / 50 ° C is recommended. Using a brim helps with unheated bed printing. The material was tested on buildTak and glass top. When printing on a glass plate, it is recommended to use a fixative to keep the filament in the first few layers adhered to the plate.

Cooling down
As always, less cooling results in better layer-to-layer adhesion, more cooling produces better results on complex and protruding surfaces. A fan speed of 50% is recommended as the default. Set the fan speed lower if your print geometry allows.
