Our online store offers a wide selection of 3D printers, 3D scanners, and filaments to choose from. We also have a complete filament guide to assist you with matching specific filament types to specific 3D printer models.
There are several crucial elements to consider when buying 3D printer filament. Today, we talk about these elements to ensure that you can buy the ideal filament type for your needs.
What Should I Consider Before Buying Filament?
- Printer Compatibility
If you do not have a 3D printer and want to buy one, we recommend that you consider the type of filament that you want to use with your printer. Some models have a wider range of compatibility, as their extruder nozzles can reach higher temperatures and can be adjusted to match the melting point of specific materials.
- Filament Qualities
If you already have a 3D printer, you can use our filament guide to identify compatible filaments with your specific brand and model. Once you have identified these filaments, you should consider the qualities of that specific filament. These parameters include strength, flexibility, durability, warping tendencies, and ideal applications. As a result, you can make an informed decision when buying 3D printer filament from our online store.
- Temperature Resistance
Since 3D printer filaments have specific melting points, it is important to identify these materials’ temperature resistance and whether they need heated print beds and/or enclosed printing areas for optimal results. This will also determine the temperature resistance of the 3D model being printed with the specific material. Some filaments are designed for outdoor use, while others are more malleable.
- Colour
At 3D Unique, our range of 3D printer filaments is available is a wide selection of colours. Many hobbyists enjoy hand-painting their 3D models. However, when it comes to small batch production, you might not have the luxury of hand-painting every individual model. This is where the colour of the filament can save you valuable time during production. We offer both standard and unique colour choices for different materials to suit your preferences.
