What does it need to survive?

PLA The default. Sharpest detail, widest colour range, cheapest. Not for anything that lives in a hot car or in direct sun. Good for: Prototypes · Display pieces · Toys and models PETG The sensible all-rounder. Tougher than PLA, handles warmth and damp, slightly softer detail. What we reach for on most functional parts. Good for: Functional parts · Enclosures · Brackets ABS enclosed chamber Heat-tolerant and machinable — you can sand, drill and tap it. Needs the enclosed chamber, which is exactly what the X1C has. Good for: Automotive interiors · Parts near heat · Post-machined parts ASA enclosed chamber The outdoor one. UV-stable where PLA goes chalky and brittle. Pick this for anything living outside in Queensland sun. Good for: Outdoor fittings · Signage exposed to sun · Roof and gutter parts TPU (flexible) single colour Rubbery and flexible. Gaskets, grips, bumpers, feet. Prints slowly and cannot be multi-colour on this machine. Good for: Gaskets and seals · Grips and feet · Protective bumpers PA-CF (nylon carbon fibre) enclosed chamber Engineering grade. Stiff, strong, heat tolerant, matte black finish. The hardened nozzle on the X1C is what makes this possible — abrasive filament destroys a brass nozzle. Good for: Load-bearing brackets · Jigs and fixtures · Drone and RC parts PC (polycarbonate) enclosed chamber The tough one. High impact resistance and the highest heat tolerance we run. Demanding to print — expect a longer lead time. Good for: Impact-resistant parts · High-heat environments · Light-transmitting parts

3. How it should print

Colours The AMS holds 4 spools, so 4 colours is the most in one job. Quantity Per-unit cost drops with quantity — ask if you need a batch. Finish Our default. Good finish, sensible speed. Strength Infill density. More is stronger, heavier and dearer.

What does the part do?

We do not print food containers. Layer lines in any FDM print trap bacteria whatever the filament, so we will not sell a part as food safe.
