Meisnerdan: /* Types of Filament */

==Overview==
Filament is basically a string of material or 'ink' for [[3DPrinting]]. It's usually plastic, although there are some metallic and composite filaments.

==Common 3D Printing Filament Materials==

There are a variety of filaments:

PLA:
*Plant derived
*Easy to print with
*Biodegradable
*Not good for outdoors

TPU: 
*Flexible

ABS:
*Strong
*Toxic
*Temperature Sensitive (requires enclosure)
*Can be used outdoors

PETG: 
*Strong
*Easier to print than ABS
*Can be used outdoors

Nylon:
*Very Strong
*Prints at high temperature (240-260C--should be printed with all-metal hot end)
*Very hydroscopic (can absorb more than 10% of its weight in less than 24 hours if not stored properly).
*Warps like ABS
*PVA-based glue on heated bed surface works best (@75C).

Others: 
*Composites
*Additives like iron, wood, wax, conductive materials, carbon fiber, etc.

==Overview==
This is the most common type of [[3DPrinting]] technology today. It's basically a robotic hot glue gun that builds objects layer-by-layer.

==How it Works==
Plastic [[Filament]] is fed by gears through a heated area, where it is then squeezed through a nozzle and applied layer-by-layer onto a flat surface:

==Overview==
3D printing is an amazing technology. It's a miniature factory that enables people to turn [[3D models]] into physical objects. There are a wide variety of 3D printing technologies. The most common today is [[Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF)]] (AKA FDM). This is the robotic hot glue gun that builds objects layer-by-layer. Others include [[Stereolithography (SLA)]] and [[Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)]].
