Additional info

For many 3D printers, C8 will print best at approximately 200°C with a bed temperature of 50°C and a speed of 50 mm/s. In designs with significant overhangs and bridges, best results are obtained with fans at 80%. If your model has no overhangs then putting your fans at 0% improves interlayer bonding and in so doing the final mechanical strength of your part. To get the best results while printing we advise you to keep the 3D printer in a room where there is hardly any dra􀅜 and/or temperature fluctuations. Keep the 3D printer out of direct sunlight. When the 3D printer is not being used it is important to keep the 3D4Makers Facilan™ C8 filament in a bag and stored in a cool, dry and dark place until it is used again.
