Novamid® AM1030 FR - Natural - DSM

General printing guidelines *

Nozzle size: ? 0.4mm Layer height: ? 0.1mm * Flow rate: ± 100%
Print temp: ± 265 - 275° C * Print speed: Average 50 mm/s * Retraction: Depends
Heat bed: ± 110 - 115° C * Fan speed: 0% Printing surface: PA Adhesive
Enclosed printer needed: Yes Heated Build Chamber: Preferred / Yes Experience level: Intermediate

*) Above displayed settings are meant as guidance to find your optimal print settings. These ranges in settings should work for most printers, but please do feel free to experiment outside these ranges if you think it is suitable for your printer. There are a lot of different type of printers, hot-ends and printer offsets that it is extremely difficult to give an overall one-size-fits-all setting.

*) First layer : 100 - 150% of first layer thickness.

*) Print speed: 50 mm/s (obeying the maximal throughput in cm3/s of the extruder). Print speed for "normal" nozzle size (0.4mm) and layer height (0.2mm), for other values print speed should be adjusted accordingly!

*) Do only remove printed object from print bed when print bed has cooled down to ambient temperatures, as otherwise printed part can deform severely.

*) Retraction dependent on printer type and filament diameter.

Storage and conditioning

Novamid® AM 1030 FR (F) is supplied in airtight, moisture-proof packaging at a moisture level <0.05 w%.

In order to prevent moisture pick up and contamination, supplied packaging should be kept closed and undamaged. For the same reason, partially used bags should be sealed before re-storage. Allow the material that has been stored elsewhere to adapt to the temperature in the processing room while keeping the bag closed. To prevent moisture condensing on filaments, bring cold filaments up to ambient temperature in the print shop while keeping the packaging closed.

In case the filament has become wet, it should be dried. Using a hot air oven at 80°C for at least 4h is recommended. When storing the filament after printing, it is advised to seal the bag and add silica gel to the bag to keep the filament as dry as possible.
