Printing Tips
1. Using higher values within these ranges can enhance the mechanical properties of the printed parts, especially in the Z-direction.
2. Higher temperatures within the drying range yield better results, but do not exceed 160°C to avoid damaging the spool.
3. To prevent the filament from absorbing moisture, use an airtight storage container with desiccant during printing.

- What is PPS-CF filament? - PPS-CF filament is a special type of 3D printing material made from a combination of carbon fiber and a plastic known as polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). This combination gives it strong properties like heat resistance, which means it can handle high temperatures without melting or deforming. It’s great for making tough, long-lasting items.
- How hot can I use PPS-CF filament? - PPS-CF filament can handle temperatures as high as 264°C! This makes it perfect for projects that need to endure hot conditions, like automotive parts or electronic devices.
- Why is PPS-CF filament flame-resistant? - PPS-CF filament is designed to be safe and fire-resistant. It gets a special rating called UL-94 V-0, which means it can resist flame and helps in preventing fires, especially in important areas like electronics.
- How do I store PPS-CF filament properly? - It's best to keep your PPS-CF filament in a dry place, away from moisture. Using an airtight container with a moisture absorber (like desiccants) will keep the filament dry and ready for use.
- What printing settings should I use for PPS-CF? - When printing with PPS-CF filament, set your nozzle temperature between 310°C and 350°C. The bed should be at about 100°C. Also, ensure that your printing space is dry, with humidity below 20%.
- Can I use brass nozzles with PPS-CF? - No, it’s not recommended to use brass nozzles with PPS-CF filament because they can wear out quickly. Instead, use hardened steel nozzles for the best results.
- Is there anything I need to do before printing with PPS-CF? - Yes! You must dry the filament before using it to get the best print quality. You can do this by heating it in a special drying oven at 100-140°C for about 8 to 12 hours.
- Where can I use PPS-CF filament? - PPS-CF filament is excellent for industrial applications, making parts for cars, electronics, and other things that need to resist heat, chemicals, and wear. If you need something very strong, this is a great option!
- What should I do if I have trouble printing with PPS-CF? - If you're having trouble, check that your nozzle and bed temperatures are set correctly. Make sure the filament is dry, and that you are using the right nozzle type. If you still need help, you can look for 3D printing guides or contact customer support.
- What is the price of PPS-CF filament? - PPS-CF filament is priced at $129.99. You can also check for any ongoing sales or promotions that may help reduce the cost!
